CTA Red Line trains in both directions were running on elevated tracks between the Fullerton and Cermak-Chinatown Stations due to a minor fire at track level but 95th-bound trains have since resumed normal routing , according to the transit agency.

After stopping at Fullerton, 95th-bound trains were diverted and stop at:

  • Armitage;
