On Tuesday, July 11, 2006, about 5:06 p.m., central daylight time,
the last car of northbound Chicago Transit Authority Blue Line
train number 220 derailed in the subway between the Clark/Lake and
Grand/Milwaukee stations in downtown Chicago, Illinois. About 1,000
passengers were on board the eight-car rapid transit train.
Following the derailment, the train came to a stop, and electrical
arcing between the last car and the 600-volt direct current third
rail generated smoke. The single operator in the lead car received
a number of calls on the train intercom. The operator exited the
control compartment, stepped onto the catwalk, and walked beside
the train to investigate.
