Stalled freight trains delay Metra

Glen Ellyn – Stalled freight trains have delayed multiple Metra train Tuesday morning in the western suburbs.

Because of a stalled freight train in Glen Ellyn, Metra Union Pacific West Line commuters cannot board inbound trains at the Glen Ellyn station, according to Metra’s Web site.

Passengers going to Chicago should board westbound train No. 13 and exit at College Avenue. Train No. 22 will make an additional stop at College Avenue to accommodate passengers traveling to Chicago, Metra said.

Passengers can also board inbound trains directly at the College Avenue or Lombard stations.

On Metra’s BNSF Railway station, a stalled freight train in Western Springs means commuters cannot board trains at the Western Springs station, Metra said. Commuters can board trains from either Highlands or LaGrange Stone Avnue.

The duration of the service disruption is not immediately known.
