The fall-out has begun from the CTA's decision to pull around 200 buses from service. So what exactly happened to these accordion buses? It seems a bus driver noticed a crack in the actual accordion section of the bus that attaches the front end to the rear. The bus in which the crack was discovered was five years old and had 152,000 miles on it.

A CTA train derailment in the Howard Red Line rail yard temporarily interrupted Red Line service and has indefinitely shut down Yellow Line service. The #97 bus is offering service for Yellow Line riders until further notice. Southbound Red Line trains between Howard and Thorndale were temporarily suspended but service has since been restored and the CTA is saying to expect only minor delays on the Red and Purple Lines. The derailment occurred around 9 a.m. and there's no word what line the derailed train was associated with. Update: Service has been restored to the Yellow Line.
