'Tis the season, @geneking7320(no, probably just coincidence).... but we should put this to music.... I'm dreaming of Rail Alerts Just like the ones I used to know Where the train stops running Or someone needs a doctor Or a track switch stopped working up ahead {Long Chorus with Music} (Hey, I can't think of lines for the whole song here!!! ) I'm dreaming of Rail Alerts With every Rail Alert I find May your delays, delays, delays be short and quickly resolved And may all your remaining trip....... be nice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like when they were doing the rebuild and after right there there was a constant problem there for a quick sec now rail work a few years later?

artthouwill Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 What is a track condition and why are they starting to pop up more frequently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently they are using the track condition status for broken or damaged rails, however I think broken ties or any other component of the running rails or third rail could also set off this alert. With the cold weather we've been having, rails are more likely to have problems (Metra slows trains down to reduce increased wear for example). This can also be a problem in the summer with the heat affecting operations too. I forget what alert they used when a Blue Line train knocked over its own third rail though.
