Stalled train ties up Metra’s northwest line

FOX RIVER GROVE — Seven trains on Metra’s Union Pacific Northwest Line this morning have experienced delays of between 18 and 62 minutes after a stalled train at the Fox River Grove station.

Train 620, scheduled to depart Fox River Grove at 8:01 a.m. and arrive in Chicago at 9:01 a.m., was the culprit, said Metra spokesman Tom Miller.

Passengers not going to Chicago exited at Barrington and were picked up there by train 624.

Those going to Chicago remained on board 620, which then became an express train to Chicago.

All trains departing now should not be experiencing any significant delays, Miller said.
