Metra, CTA Still Snarled

The troubles of the morning rush hour have carried over into the evening rush hour as Metra is being plagued by many mechanical problems across the area. Our own Tim State just alerted us to a power outage aboard his train on the Metra North line from Waukegan. Meanwhile, it appears an equipment problem on the CTA tracks at Lake & Wells has Brown, Purple, and Green line trains backed up this afternoon as well.
