Yellow Line Train Derails Near Howard Terminal, Disrupting Service on 3 CTA Lines
About 80 passengers were evacuated and no injuries were reported as CTA crews investigated the derailment and worked to restore service.
- On Thursday evening, a Chicago Transit Authority Yellow Line train derailed near Howard Station in Rogers Park, forcing the temporary suspension of Red, Yellow, and Purple line services.
- Chicago Fire Department District Chief Michael Davita led an emergency response involving about 50 firefighters, who successfully evacuated approximately 80 passengers from the derailed train with no injuries reported.
- Stuck at Jarvis station for 90 minutes, impacted commuter Jonathan Eig described the experience, saying, "They came and opened the windows because there was no air conditioning."
- To assist affected riders, the CTA provided shuttle buses between Howard and Thorndale, though service on the Yellow and Purple lines remained suspended as crews worked to resume operations.
- Two and a half years ago, a similar Yellow Line crash caused an estimated $8.7 million in damages and left the train line closed for seven weeks.
