PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Some SEPTA Broad Street Line riders going to Wednesday night's Philadelphia Phillies game at Citizens Bank Park found their train stuck between the Oregon and the NRG stops.
Numerous riders tell KYW Newsradio that the train was stuck in the subway tunnel before re-starting about 50 minutes later.
55 minutes later and we're free! Lots of Septa pd but no one from septa showed face to apologize #stuckonsepta

SEPTA said switch problems near Snyder Station were the culprit of the problem, which happened at about 6:30 p.m., about a half hour before first pitch.
SEPTA also called for assistance to get those Phillies fans to the game, as well as other riders to their destinations.
Some who said they were riding those trains shared their complaints with SEPTA, who responded to many of them on their customer service Twitter channel.
