I was on a WB 157, which had a driver change this morning about 9:15 at Clinton/Congress, but the relief driver was stuck on a train, so we had to find a different way to continue west. I'm not sure why the driver couldn't call the top secret control center & ask what to do, such as get some overtime by continuing on to California Ave. & getting relieved on the return trip. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the 8 was being diverted via Harrison, Racine and either Jackson (northbound)/ Van Buren (southbound). 7 & 60 eastbound via Halsted, Taylor, Jefferson.

Busjack Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 It certainly was a mess. Chicago Sun Times has one of the better pictures. At least it explained what happened, instead of the generic "construction debris on track." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTRSP1900-CTA3200 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Blue Line is still getting back up to speed. First train that got to Jackson from O'Hare was ending its run at LaSalle, and the next train was so crowded that I got off at LaSalle anyways. Update: 20 minutes and one garbled announcement after I got off the second train, the next train made it to LaSalle. I almost started applauding. It was packed too, but I managed to get to UIC-Halsted anyways. Hopefully things are still getting better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
