I encourage anyone not to take the Brown Line until later on this evening. There are multiple delays due to two sets of single track operation making this line unreliable. My train is currently running express from Southport to Western. I don't know where this single track operation came from between Southport and Clark Street Junction. The Red Line would be the best alternative even though expect a little more time to your travel.
