Overview

• CTA said a track condition halted Red, Yellow and Purple Line trains at the Howard terminal on Monday evening.
• Shuttle buses are replacing Purple Line service through Evanston to Linden in Wilmette, Yellow Line service through Skokie, and Red Line trips between Howard and Morse.
• The agency did not immediately detail the issue, and CBS Chicago reported that information about a train evacuation was not yet confirmed.
• On Monday morning, CTA rerouted Red Line trains to the elevated tracks between Fullerton and Cermak-Chinatown because of a medical emergency, which local reports linked to a person on the tracks at State and Lake.
• During the diversion, 95th-bound trains stopped at Armitage, Sedgwick, Chicago/Franklin, Merchandise Mart, Clark/Lake, State/Lake, Washington/Wabash, Adams/Wabash and the elevated Roosevelt station, with no timeline provided for delays.
