MORE CHEERFUL RAILROAD READING.A Chicago Transit Authority train derailed and caught fire in the Lake Street section of the Dearborn Street subway. All passengers made it out alive.

The photograph, by Paul Beaty of the Daily Herald from USA Today, shows rescue vehicles and a Metra suburban train on the north approaches to Union Station at the Clinton Street level crossing.

Too much grim news tonight. Perhaps the opportunity for lighter fare after some rest.
