All passengers were cleared off the train and no injuries were reported; the cause of the fire remains under investigation, the fire official said.
Trains were stopped between Howard and Fullerton on the Red and Purple lines, as well as Kimball and Fullerton on the Brown Line, a CTA spokesperson said. Service was restored around 9 p.m.
