"L" Trains Having Problems Today

2010_11_26_cta.gif CTA is having problems with the Red and Blue Lines today. The Blue Line is reported to be operating on one track between Cumberland and Harlem, and from Belmont to California, due to problems with the third rail. CTA is running shuttle buses between the Jefferson Park and Rosemont stations to alleviate the situation.

Meanwhile, a suspicious package at the Grand and State Red Line station caused CTA to divert train service earlier this morning. As of 9:40 a.m., Red Line trains were once again operating on their normal routes and schedules.
