CHICAGO – A Chicago commuter train collided with railroad equipment Thursday morning, injuring at least 19 people, three of them seriously, a fire official said.
The Chicago Fire Department said a Chicago Transit Authority train struck a piece of equipment on the tracks shortly before 11 a.m. on the city’s North Side.
Three people suffered serious injuries while 16 others suffered non-life-threatening injuries, fire department spokesman Larry Langford told the Chicago Sun-Times.

“That’s probably going to go up,” Langford said of the injured.
At least 15 ambulances were dispatched to the scene of the train collision, which is located near the Howard CTA station.
Train service on the CTA’s Red, Purple and Yellow lines was temporarily suspended as a result of the crash, the commuter service said on its website.
