CTA had a rear-ender today. Not sure how you let that happen.

CTA trains will not enter a large area surrounding the central downtown area. More specifically: Red Line service will not run between Fullerton and 47th; Blue Line service will not run between Division and UIC-Halsted; Green Line service will not run between Ashland and 47th; Brown Line service will not run between Belmont and Loop; Orange Line service will not run between Halsted and Loop; and Pink Line service will not run between Polk and Loop;

Looks like they are having teething problems with PTC on the Milwaukee Road West Line.

"Train #2203, scheduled to arrive Big Timber Rd at 7:48 AM, may be operating 15 to 20 minutes behind schedule due to Positive Train Control issues. Please listen to platform announcements for the location of this train."

It wasn't the first notice and probably won't be the last.
