Blue Line Blues

By Laura Oppenheimer in News on Mar 13, 2007 1:30PM

Was anyone else on the Blue Line this morning around 8:30? The train that got stuck at the Grand/Milwaukee stop and filled with smoke? We sat there for a while, about 10 minutes, partially because we were so happy to have a seat for the first time in a few weeks. As usual, there was nary an announcement about the problem. But then we realized that the acrid smoke was probably not very good for our delicate lungs, so we got off and took a bus to work.

We checked all the usual sources, but couldn't find out if it was normal crappy CTA, or something a worse. Does anyone know what happened?
