Judging by how many times work is happening at this station, I'm beginning to think the workers are just showing up to fix something they broke the last time they showed up.

I know it's a little early to post this, but what the heck...

Due to Your New Blue station work (finally!), Blue Line trains will not, I repeat, will NOT stop at California/Milwaukee. The station will be closed for 42 days. For alternate service from California/Milwaukee, use the new (and *temporarily available) #N56 Owl Route, which will run between Logan Sq. and Western/Armitage.

*I wish this route was permanent, but then what would be the point of the Blue Line?

Full Description:

Blue Line service has been temporarily suspended between Cicero and Western (Forest Park-branch) due to a derailment near Pulaski (Forest Park-branch).

As a result, trains are operating in two sections:

Shuttle buses are available to provide connecting service through the affected area bewteen Cicero and Western (Forest Park-branch).

We are working to restore service as quickly as possible. Allow extra travel time.
