The Metra Electric District will run extra train service for anticipation of larger than normal crowds for the Chicago Bears home games. For more information click here and visit metra.com.

There's various reasons train service could be affected causing delays. During autumn months when leaves fall on tracks and a train's wheel crush them, a slick oily residue is left behind on the rail. This residue makes it harder for the train to get proper traction to start, stop, and maintain speed. As a result, delays may be experienced during your travel. Plan ahead and allow for extra travel time this autumn season. For additional info click here. 

Track construction will be taking place at the Grayland station, Rondout, and the Everett crosssing has been extended through June, 2024. Trains may incur delays enroute up to 15 minutes behind schedule passing through the work zone until the work is complete. Please listen to announcements for any platform changes.
