They had a fire a few minutes ago on the Blue line at Rosemont, fifth car of an eight car consist, #2639. Travel in the area is difficult at best. Last reports were there were riders out there waiting for buses. They are trying to return power to the affected area as I speak. Of course this is happening now and this is ongoing.
