BusHunter Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Probably had to wait for service to go completely over the top hence the delay. They probably have trapped trains in the subway until this resolves itself. Medical emergency is on the tracks btw. Hint hint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusHunter Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Hmm #922 is a ghost train at belmont currently nb. Ok filmed wilson just a flyby. Structure is removed to past aldi. Ill upload tonight or tomorrow. You know the only thing I didn't like about this experience is the tracker wouldn't tell us where the train is south of belmont. It just said 18 min which may be how long it takes to get the trapped train to there. No software exists to say where over the top the red line train is. Time to upgrade to version 2 guys!! Some guy was asking me the same thing. I told him 18 minutes. He caught a brown line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first inherent problem is that if it is based on the signal system and run entered at the terminal, it is "off track" and I don't know if it can recover (unlike a bus, which can "reconnect" with the satellite). The other thing I noticed is that it does not reflect Red Line to/from Ashland-63. In any event, trains are shown but are light on the south side: On the north side, northbound trains are about half southbound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusHunter Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 I tried pulling up trains on a map but I think mobile doesn't have that. That needs to change as most of us are not walking around with a pc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusHunter Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Another suggestion I noticed the 18 minutes to belmont train wasn't counting down, probably cause it was trapped or it was reading its last known position. Now on the buses if a bus doesn't move the tracker will drop it or say its delayed here it did neither. CTA got really lucky today this happened in the mid day. Can you imagine if this happened at 5:00pm all I can say is it would be chaos as there seemed like there was no service at least for 20-30 minutes. While the rush may have been screwed up at least trains were moving. They very well cant run an express over a green brown or purple line. I think though one time I did see them start turning sb's to nb' s at belmont red because the service is decaying or falling apart. They would have to do something. Thought maybe they would do this today but they didn't. Saw about 4-5 sb's so that was the delay at least. Only 2 came nb in a pack so I would say 2-3 must have been trapped.

BusHunter Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Something is brewing on the brown line my train at belmont nb was just turned north to south. All that the operator said was there are major delays on the brown line due to mechanical issues on a train. Im nb on the red line just going to irving pk anyway heading west.

BusHunter Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Cta alerts says something happened at Francisco no service belmont to kimball. Bus shuttles are being called in. They claim its only sb but you would have to think how many trains can go north that cant go south. Ok one just went north at irving brown line my current position . Problem seems to be resolving itself at least south of there. A train just went south from irving. Maybe they are turning trains at western i dont know.
