Train service on CTA’s Blue Line was temporarily suspended Friday morning on the Northwest Side for an unauthorized person on the tracks.

Trains were halted about 7:15 a.m. because of a person walking on the tracks near the Logan Square station, according a service alert from the CTA. Shuttle buses were operating between the California and Montrose stops.

As of 8:04 a.m., train service was resuming with “major delays,” the CTA said. As of 8:39 a.m., normal service was resuming with residual delays.
