Here's a message from Eric Haak: Below are some photos from the CTA train derailment that took place on August 5th. The call came in from CTA, who provided an approximate location of 61st and Calumet. However, the actual incident occurred just a short distance north, directly over 63rd Street. It was a minor derailment with no injuries reported. Passengers were safely moved about 100 feet to a nearby stairway that led from the tracks down to the ground level. A fire truck, F634, was dispatched from Midway by Engine 127 but ultimately wasn't needed for the situation.

While it wasn’t a major event, the presence of fire trucks and personnel shows the city’s preparedness for such situations. The photos also highlight the importance of clear communication between agencies and the public during emergencies. Whether it's a minor derailment or something more serious, having the right equipment and trained personnel on standby can make all the difference.
