Trains were standing near the Ashland station around 5:45 p.m. because of switching problems, the Chicago Transit Authority said in an alert. Service was suspended minutes later.

Normal service resumed around 7:15 p.m., the CTA said. Riders are advised to allow for extra travel time due to residual delays and track congestion.
