Berwyn Red Line stop, facing north.


<rant> As much as I like the CTA, I can't help but be upset that it took 2 hours to get home from the loop last night. I should have hopped on a bus, but I figured the trains would start moving faster eventually. I was wrong unfortunately. The problem was that a suspicious package had been found in the Red Line subway. So they rerouted all of the red line trains the to elevated tracks. Bad idea on the part of the CTA. It completely threw off the schedules of every other train line. They could have just told everyone on the red line to get off at Fullerton on the north and Roosevelt on the south (assuming it wasn't that station that had the package) or bussed people up from Cermak. It would have made peoples' commutes a bit slower, but not 90 minutes longer than usual. So, in short, we need some more train lines so that this doesn't happen all the time. Maybe a nice loop around the far reaches of the city, and another closer in, and maybe some more trains in various places. I'm done now. </rant>
