Chicago fire officials said a Green Line train "failed" near 13th Street and Wabash Avenue, and some riders were taken off the train due to heat.

Shuttle buses were available between Clark/Lake and Halsted for Orange Line service and between Indiana and Clark/Lake for Green Line service, the CTA said.
