CHICAGO (STMW) — A CTA Yellow Line train derailed Tuesday afternoon in the Rogers Park neighborhood on the North Side.
The train derailed while approaching the Howard station at 7519 N. Paulina St. about 2:10 p.m., according to CTA spokesperson Catherine Hosinki.
The three passengers on the two-car train were able to go to the head car and get off onto the platform, CTA spokesperson Tammy Chase said. No one was injured.
Chase said it’s “too soon to say” what caused the derailment.
Service was suspended on the Yellow Line after the incident, and Red and Purple line trains were experiencing “significant” delays, according to the CTA.
Bus shuttles are running to accommodate Yellow Line customers, Hosinki said. Customers can also take the No. 97 Skokie bus.
