Got a link?

Breaking on FNC. CNN has it too.

Not linked to terrorism, so far. No deaths. Casualties due to Smoke Inhalation.

The CNN article:
http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/07/11/chicago.transit/index.html

doesn't really say "derailed"

There is smoke. no fire found. no derailment either.

and its not between O'Hare and Downtown... merely Damen to Washington, a large portion of the NW side of the Blue Line.

many people having smoke inhilation and related problems and being treated accordingly.

no ideas yet what the cause is.

Woah. Between India, the PATH plot, and this Chicago incident, train systems are having the same luck that coal mines had a few months ago.

I don't think the situation in India had anything to do with luck... or the lack thereof.
