I know that for the past few months, 9531 typically has been a push pull set. I ended up in W. Trenton too and saw 6336 using it’s push pull set. I guess that since it’s the week leading to Memorial Day, Septa isn’t using all the push pull sets on the trains that they are normally assigned to.Probably just an equipment or crew issue, since Monday is the only day they wouldn't be running them for the holiday. The Trenton set went out as normal yesterday, so that's 3 out of 4.
