Another Day, Another Red Line Delay

Red Line trains were delayed this morning when a train operator who was checking on an equipment malfunction somehow managed to slip on the tracks. The incident happened around 10 a.m. at the Granville Station. Power was shut off from Thorndale to Howard and shuttle buses were running from Belmont to Howard. Power was eventually restored at 10:45.

The conductor was taken to St, Francis Hospital in Evanston. The condition of the conductor is not known, nor is whether the conductor made contact with the electrified third rail.
