Travel disruptions hit Chicago's CTA Brown Line commuters this Friday morning due to fire department activity at Adams/Wabash, as The Chicago Tribune reported.
The CTA had trains standing at the Adams/Wabash station in response to what was later identified by CFD as a train car fire, according to ABC7 Chicago. No injuries were reported from the incident despite the fact that travelers had to be evacuated, which surely disrupted the usual flow and hustle of Chicago's morning rush hour.
Situated in the Loop, a notable hub of the CTA rail system, the Adams/Wabash station's function returned to normal schedule after the incident was resolved with trains operating normally again by just before 9 a.m., "after experiencing delays due to smoking brakes on a Brown Line train at the Adams/Wabash station," the spokesperson told ABC 7 Chicago.
