Malfunctions

A train on WMATA's Red Line separated yesterday--it pulled apart right on the tracks.

As the investigation of the Metra train derailment continues, the engineer said he saw a clear signal, which is why he was proceeding at about 70 mph rather than the 10 mph required to switch tracks.

Meanwhile, 60 passengers fled a fire in the ceiling of a CTA bus.

A little less chaos in California: a proposed BART extension to Silicon Valley will draw more riders than previously projected. However, it will also cost more money.
