Trains service was cleared to resume at 12:28 a.m., said CTA spokeswoman Lambrini Lukidis.

During the stoppage, a CTA Green Line train was evacuated at the Central Avenue station, officials said.

While the trains were halted, shuttle buses transported Green Line passengers from the Clinton stop, out to the Austin stop on Lake Street, according to the CTA.
