U P Derailment Chicago

Here are a couple of photos taken from WGN radio web site.

Several run away U.P. engines (LAST reports) derailed just South of Union Station early this morning.

The Metra line to Orland Park was tied up. After a long tie up the Metra trains were rerouted.

Re: U P Derailment Chicago

 As of 07:00 the engines were removed from the derailment scene. Report are saying 4 engines were on the ground. Metra service still moving by long delays.

Question      people have to be at work at certain times. When a major problems occur that require long time delays.

Why can't Metra start the trains earlier?

They could put out special announcements over the NEWS stations.
