Sorry, having a little trouble finding a solid link for reference, FYI there was a collision of trains on the Loop this morning, injuring 140 people or so.
Since people I know have been suffering a run of bad luck in the past few days, I am kind of hoping its not contagious… per the AP wire there were no fatalities.

No, but I could have been on that train. It’s the line I take, but I drove today. One of my partners was on the train behind the two that collided.

Thanks, **think** , that’s a better link. AP link is more recent but apparently to dynamic to cross post.

I’m fine but haven’t been on the El since 1988 so my risk was minimal. But thanks for asking!
