Here are a few images from the CTA train derailment on August 5 in Chicago.  The call came in from the CTA who gave an approximate location of 61st and Calumet.  The actual incident occurred almost directly over 63rd Street.  It was a minor derailment and there were no injuries.  Passengers were escorted only about 100 feet to a stairway that led from the tracks to the ground below.  F634 was brought out from Midway Airport by Engine 127 but was not needed.
