Chicago Transit Authority service was up and running Friday morning after a Yellow Line train derailed on the city’s Far North Side during the evening rush hour Thursday, according to the city agency.

Rail service had been temporarily suspended Thursday evening along the entire Yellow and Purple lines, as well as along the Red Line between the Howard and Thorndale stations, the CTA said. Both the CTA and the Chicago Fire Department said there were no reported injuries.

Normal service resumed shortly before 11:30 p.m. Thursday, the CTA said.

The derailment occurred as the Yellow Line train approached the Howard Station, the CTA said.

Fire officials, in a social media post, stated all passengers had been removed from the train as of 6:15 p.m.

A CTA customer alert was issued around 5:40 p.m., according to the transit agency’s service alert website. The alert coincided with the evening rush hour and the end of the Cubs home game against the Phillies.

“CTA crews are on-site and working as quickly as possible to resume normal operations,” the CTA said in a statement.

Some North Side police units were responding to the scene.

Thursday’s derailment came nearly three years after a Yellow Line train hit a snowplow that was on the tracks for scheduled training, injuring some two dozen passengers and CTA employees, including the train operator. The November 2023 crash caused an estimated $8.7 million in damages and left the train line closed for seven weeks.
