Two men suffered minor injuries when a Red Line train derailed near the Roosevelt station in the wee hours of Thursday morning. According to CBS 2, "The train jumped off the track following a track switch at the State Street station...one of the cars on the train rode up just a few inches to breach the top of station platform, and got hung up on top." The two men were transported to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in good condition. The derailment happened around 1:20 a.m. and service on the Red Line subway resumed around 6 a.m.; overnight, Red Line trains were diverted to the Loop.
