Another Derailment

A Red Line train derailed early this morning near 95th Street. The 14 passengers all walked off the four-car train, but one was taken to the hospital for minor injuries.

A man who was traveling on the train said he thought the train operator may have "overshot" a switch or light and when the operator backed the train up, the train derailed. The exact cause is under investigation.

Service was restored around 4am. [Trib, S-T, CBS 2]
