garmon757 Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Wow! Imagine that!!! It's crazy because my train was halted for nearly 20 minutes and I was at Forest Park heading downtown!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTRSP1900-CTA3200 Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 It's crazy because my train was halted for nearly 20 minutes and I was at Forest Park heading downtown!!!! I was just driving along the Eisenhower from the Circle Interchange to the Austin exit and I only saw one train during the drive. Maybe it was yours. Usually I see one coming out of the tunnel at UIC, and one at Cicero, not counting the inbound trains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you spotted that one going towards downtown, I'm damn sure you indeed saw me go past you. I was on the fourth car (#3091). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang, I should have noted the car numbers. That door problem must have been something from what other forum members have said. The CTA says the Blue Line still has residual delays.
