CHICAGO — Significant delays on the Brown and Purple lines were reported Wednesday evening following an apparent suicide on the tracks at Sedgwick.
Following what CTA deemed a medical emergency, “Brown Line service has been temporarily suspended between Southport and the Loop. Brown Line trains are operating only between Kimball and Southport at this time.”
Crews are working to restore full service.

As a result, CTA shuttle buses are available between Southport and Clark and Lake to provide connecting service.
CTA riders are also encouraged to consider alternate routes.
