Chicago Holiday Train Rolls Past Crime Scene
WBBM Newsradio/Steve Miller
CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) – The sight was surreal: After a shooting and brief lockdown in the CTA subway Thursday, one of the first trains to resume passing through was the transit agency’s decked-out Holiday Train.
WBBM Newsradio’s Steve Miller, who covered the breaking story for listeners, captured digital photographs of the bizarre juxtaposition at the Jackson Blue Line station.
In one picture, a Chicago police officer with a semiautomatic rifle stands in front of yellow crime-scene tape; in the background, one of Santa’s festively dressed helpers smiles and waves from one of the Holiday Train's specially lighted cars.
The CTA Holiday Train runs the transit network through the holidays.
Gunfire had erupted around 5 p.m. Thursday. One person was wounded in a pedestrian tunnel linking the Blue Line and Red Line near Jackson Street. A suspect fled, but police say there are several high-definition cameras in the area. Train service was temporarily halted and then resumed, with delays.
