Eastbound trains were halted at the Belmont station and westbounds were held at Westmont. A westbound Amtrak train believed to be the Southwest Chief was stopped at Metra's Fairview Avenue station. Numerous freights were also stacked up in both directions. <br />[/quote] <br />That was the California Zepyhr Stopped, it left CUS 2 Hours late and the Chief was the last train thru before the line was closed. <br /> <br />
