No one was injured after a Yellow Line train derailed Thursday, cutting off service to the Yellow and Purple Lines while diminishing the far north portions of Red Line service, according to the CTA.
The trains derailed near the Howard station shortly before 5:40 p.m., suspending two lines as well as the Red Line between Howard and Thorndale, a CTA representative said in a statement. No injuries were reported.
Shuttle buses were running between the closed Red Line stations until 8:40 p.m. as normal service was restored through the evening.
“CTA crews are on-site and working as quickly as possible to resume normal operations due to a report of the derailment of a train approaching the Howard station,” the statement said.
