"An elevated CTA train that had been chartered by railroad enthusiasts as a fund-raising effort for a railroad museum derailed today in the South Loop and resulted in 40 people having to walk to the nearest train station, officials said.
The train was chartered by the Illinois Railway Museum as a fundraiser for the McHenry County institution which was hoping to purchase a similar older train car, according to members."

The IRM Snowflake Special was five weeks ago. Was this another IRM trip not advertised to the public? Or did the CTA get two different charters confused in providing details?
