Uptown's Smokin'

From the Chicago Tribune:

CTA Red and Purple Line trains experienced slight delays Thursday morning after reports of smoke on the tracks at West Leland Avenue and North Broadway, officials said.

No one was hurt and no trains were in the area, said Chicago Transit Authority spokesman Wanda Taylor.

She said power to the stretch of tracks around Leland and Broadway was shut off in both directions from about 9:16 a.m. until about 9:30, after which trains began moving again.

Did anyone see the smoke or find out the source? Was it drifting north from all the construction activity at Wilson Yard?
