It's been a tough month for Metra. This morning, what was being called a "minor derailment" has resulted in the closing of two stations. It's also caused all south suburban service on the Metra Electric Line to be delayed by about half an hour, affecting nearly 5,000 customers. The derailment happened in Richton Yard. Metra had originally planned to use shuttle buses but found they didn't have the necessary "equipment." Be sure to check the Metra website for any updates.
