	UTU: News
		CHICAGO -- The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) is studying new rail service -- tentatively called the Silver Line -- linking the Blue and Green Lines in neighborhoods near downtown and forming the first piece of the ambitious Circle Line concept, according to this report by Jon Hilkevitch published by the Chicago Tribune.
		But residents of the West Side who have long sought better transit in their communities say they fear that the proposed Silver Line would prompt further service reductions on the Cermak branch of the Blue Line, where train schedules were cut in 1997 and have not been restored.
		Members of the Blue Line Transit Task Force were expected to renew their call at Monday's City Council committee meeting for the CTA to immediately restore 24-hour, seven-day service on the Cermak branch.

		Some 30 percent of the elevated portion of that rapid- transit line currently is rated a slow zone because of the danger that would be posed to its weakened supports by vibrations from fast-moving trains.
		Although three Metra lines and expansion of platforms on the CTA's Ravenswood Brown Line were authorized for federal funding in the measure, they did not receive any earmarks.
		Chicago officials and Democratic lawmakers contended those projects are better able to compete for annual appropriations on their own merits because of their increasing ridership.

		Chicago Transit Authority President Frank Kruesi said the first two cars safely passed over a portion of track where a switch is located but somehow the switch moved, causing the last two cars to derail.
		On the same day last week, a faulty train switch forced the Orange Line to be sent in a reverse direction around the Loop's elevated tracks, and an underground transit line was rerouted to elevated tracks because of a cracked track switch.
