Report: braking distance partly at fault for CTA crash

April 07, 2014

A CTA train was speeding at 26 mph just seconds before it hit a bumper at the end of the track at the Blue Line O’Hare Station and bounced onto an escalator March 24, the NTSB stated Monday. The train was traveling so fast, there wasn’t enough distance for an automatic braking system to stop it, the National Transportation Safety Board said in a preliminary report.
