BRIEF: CTA: Green Line service restored after 'minor' derailment

Aug. 24--Service has been restored to CTA Green Line trains after some trains stopped running early Sunday morning because of a minor derailment.

The wheel of a southbound train came off the rails "slightly" just north of the 63rd/Ashland platform around 5:45 a.m. Sunday, said CTA spokesman Steve Mayberry. There were no passengers on the train at the time and no injuries, he said.

Train service was stopped between the Garfield Boulevard and 63rd/Ashland stops. A shuttle ran between the stops until about 9:20 a.m., when service was restored, Mayberry said.

A previous time listed for the occurrence of the derailment was incorrect. The time has been changed. The Tribune regrets the error.
