CTA Brown Line service delayed due to cracked rail caused by extreme cold
CHICAGO (CBS) — A cracked rail caused a delay in CTA Brown Line train service on Chicago's North Side on Thursday morning.
According to CTA officials, the extreme temperatures caused the rail to crack.
Train services were operating only between Southport and the Loop for about an hour.
CTA said shuttle buses were requested between Kimball and Southport to provide connecting service to the area.
Riders were also advised to consider other services, including nearby bus routes or buses to other rail lines. The agency recommended using the #81 Lawrence and #82 Kimball buses.
The agency says service is resuming and to allow for extra time.
