What the hell is the yellow line?Dozens injured, including 3 critically, in CTA train crash near Howard Street station

Thought this was a big enough story to link since anyone who went to NU knows Howard all too well.
Yes, I usually take the yellow line to Cubs games. So when I went to take the yellow line to the NU-Iowa game, I was surprised that the yellow line was not operating that day due to some sort of maintenance, but they were offering a free shuttle to Howard. It still added a good 15-20 minutes to the commute and I was pretty annoyed. There were several annoyed Iowa fans on the shuttle with me too, though, so there's that.
EC, I share your bewilderment. I still use the original names I grew up with: Ravenswood, Howard, Evanston Express, Skokie Swift, Lake St., etc for the elevated/subway lines. And I still use good old Lake Shore Drive. No disrespect to the Afro-French explorer, DuSable, intended.
