Red Line subway trains were diverted to elevated tracks between the Cermak-Chinatown and Fullerton stations Monday due to a mechanical problem on a train.

Howard-bound trains were diverted just before 7 a.m. and normal service resumed about an hour later, according to an alert from the CTA.

Service to the 95th/Dan Ryan stop was not affected, the CTA said.
