SEPTA Not Willing to Leaf Problem Alone

Last update: 9:38 a.m. EDT Oct. Crews are using three powerful high-pressure washers six nights a week to remove leaves and debris from the tracks. Slippery rail conditions occur every autumn whenever a passing train or trolley presses decayed leaves on the tracks against the rails. The crushed leaves produce an oily residue and when mixed with damp weather combine to form a slippery coating. SEPTA has equipped the high-pressure washers on three flatbed cars to combat delays.
