Service was disrupted after a woman was hit and killed by a CTA Brown Line train Tuesday morning.
The incident happened at the Addison Brown Line stop on the elevated line, near the intersection of Lincoln and Ravenswood avenues and Addison Street.
Police said a 35-year-old woman was struck by an 'L' train, and the Chicago Fire Department said the woman was pinned under the train. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
Sources said the woman's death was a suicide.
No other injuries were reported.
Following the incident, the Chicago Transit Authority said Brown Line trains were halted between the Belmont station and Kimball terminal. By just after noon, Brown Line trains were running on their complete route again, but they were not stopping at Addison.
