Trains were only running between Forest Park and Jefferson Park.

Shuttle buses were available.

Some delays are still expected.

Chopper 7 was over the scene on the Northwest Side about 3:30 p.m., and some CTA riders were seen walking between the tracks, as they appeared to get off a Blue Line train.

It was not immediately clear what was on the tracks.

CTA Blue Line service was disrupted earlier Friday, when a man was electrocuted on the tracks in River West.
