4/19/14 1:10a

Special Rail Alert Bulletin Effective 4/19/14 until 10/31/14

Rail Line(s) Affected: Brown, Green, Pink

Level Of Service Interruption: Varying Degrees Of Interruption

Information: During the Spring and Summer seasons, the bridges along the Chicago River open periodically to allow boats to pass. Bridge lifts typically occur late morning to early afternoon on Wednesdays and Saturdays, but may occur on other days and times as requested by the City Of Chicago. When bridge openings are scheduled, service on the Brown, Green and Pink Line service will be impacted. The level of impact depends upon the length of time the bridge is opened. Typically a bridge lift lasts about 5-10 minutes and will usually result in Minor Delays to rail service along affected route(s). If a bridge lift lasts longer than 10 minutes, service could see Significant Delays or Major Delays. During these delays, Alternate Service via nearby Bus Routes will be provided, and Bus Shuttles may also be implemented depending upon length of delay.

Power outage at logan square blue line station service is getting through but the station on the kedzie side is pitch black with just a few emergency lights. They put glow sticks on the escalators and set up a spot light at the end of the platform shining on the stairs.Truck 276 just rolled up with a generator. This is going to be interesting after sunset!!
