Service on Chicago Transit Authority's Red Line train is suspended temporarily after a train derailed just south of the Fullerton station this morning. CTA is working to correct the situation and is running shuttle buses between the Belmont Red/Brown/Purple Line station and Cermak/Chinatown Red Line station. Shuttle buses are also running for Brown Line trains between Belmont and Clark/Lake.

The derailment occurred around 11:20 a.m. and no injuries have been reported.
