I was on the train the derailed. It was a red line train. The conductor went through a red light about 50 yards from leaving the station and the first car ended up on two different tracks. The first car also hit a power box of some sort. One of the CTA workers said she had never seen anything like that before and that we were incredibly lucky to not be on our side.
Any injuries among passengers?
I had to pee between the train cars to dodge having an accident and everyone was so supportive of me. #community
