Reply to comment by kmfdm1974 in TIL that when it's really cold, Chicago sets its railroad tracks on fire to ensure that trains will be able to run properly and get to their destinations on time by leebruce2
Yeah, stuff like that seems to be more common for the red and blue lines

I have a buddy and she told me that she was late for work like five times in a couple years cause people were killing themselves on the blue line. I wonder what it is about suicide and the blue line

Probably easier to commit as it (and the red line) goes underground whereas the other lines are all above ground and more difficult to gain access to

She said these people were jumping on the tracks around Pulaski and when my train got held up they jumped in front of it on Damen

Ah, okay. The Irving Park and Damen stops are both fairly large stops in general so it might just boil down to percentages being at play
