On November 16, 2023, a Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) passenger train collided with maintenance equipment north of Howard station, injuring 23 people.
Accident
At 10:39 a.m. local time (07:50 UTC) on November 16, 2023, a passenger train approaching its terminal at Howard station at 30 mph collided with moving snow-removal equipment on the southern track.[1][2] The front car of the two-car train was partially crushed and derailed.[3][4] Fifteen ambulances responded to the scene and of the 38 passengers aboard, transported 28 to hospitals with 3 in critical condition.[5]
Service on the Yellow Line was fully closed following the incident and replaced with bus service, initially announced to be for a period of five days.[6] Due to the ongoing investigation, service has yet to be restored as of December 6, 2023.[7][8]
Train
Footage from investigators show that the train involved in the accident was one 5000-series pair, cars 5599 and 5600, and the maintenance vehicle was a Niigata Transys-built diesel snow removal vehicle numbered S-500.[4][9]
Investigation
The following day, the National Transportation Safety Board started an investigation into the crash.[1][10][11] Initial news reports suspected the operator to be incapacitated or in error;[12] however, a preliminary announcement from the NTSB indicated that the CTA had underestimated its trains' braking distance, compounded by the effects of slippery rails.[13]
