As of Thursday morning, crews had reduced the number of people without power to 8,000 from a peak of almost 560,000 on Monday night. ComEd spokesman Joe Trost said he's confident customers still without power will be back up by 6 p.m. tonight. The majority of those customers are in Chicago and various southern suburbs.

Power was restored to the South Shore Line late yesterday, after a passing train damaged nearly a mile of wire between the Dune Park and Michigan City stations on Saturday. Metra said riders were experiencing 45-to-60 minute delays while borrowed diesel powered locomotives were used to pull the trains through the unpowered area.
