Overview
- CTA said normal operations resumed late at night after a Yellow Line train derailed as it approached the Howard station in Rogers Park.
- The derailment shut the Yellow, Purple, and Red lines for hours and left hundreds of riders waiting on trains and platforms.
- Passengers on the derailed train reported waits of up to two hours before evacuating in what they described as a chaotic scene.
- Chicago police and fire crews joined CTA staff on the tracks, and shuttle buses carried riders through the gaps during the stoppage.
- Officials reported no injuries and have not released a cause, which follows a 2023 Yellow Line derailment in the same area that injured 38 people after a collision with a CTA snow plow train.
