Description Amtrak work locomotives 523 and 720 receive a slow approach signal on track 4 at LEHIGH interlocking after allowing an Acela Express set to pass by on track 3 and a SEPTA Silverliner IV set to snake through the interlocking and onto the Chestnut Hill West branch first.

This is a rather unusual sight, as LEHIGH interlocking (comprising of a facing-point 4-track ladder) is typically only used by SEPTA to access its Chestnut Hill West line. Very rarely, does one see a southbound diverging move on the main line tracks.

Nope, just the marker lights of the trailing locomotive (523).
