CTA Blue Line Delays Due To Track Issue Near Rosemont

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Blue Line service was experiencing major delays due to a "track condition" near Rosemont.

As a result, trains were operating in two sections: between O'Hare and Rosemont and between Rosemont and Forest Park, the CTA said.

The problem was reported at 7:15 a.m., CTA spokesman Steve Mayberry said. Trains are only operating between O'Hare and Rosemont, and between Rosemont and Forest Park. Passengers are forced to switch trains at the Rosemont station.
