According to SEPTA spokesperson Andrew Busch, as the train was being evacuated it was learned the first car was catching fire.

"Very quick action by our crews that that helped allow this to be a safe outcome. We don't we don't know where this started just that it was in the area underneath the train and then obviously engulfed the train in flames."
