The stairs would have been a healthier choice.

Thanks, Paul. Please tell the people in Chicago who commented that it was the conductor's fault.

It's interesting that it was the conductor's, and not the engineer's decision to take the escalator.

CTA Rapid Transit trains are one-man operation with only a motorman and no conductor.

All the articles are saying that "excessive speed may be involved". That train climbed about 10 vertical feet up a staircase!
