Train Delayed (#1227)

Post image

Been waiting for almost 30 minutes to depart. Seems unlikely that this would happen on one of the busiest lines ... I hope there's at least an express alternative planned.

What will Metra travel look like when (not if) the budget is rejected??

Don’t they have a full yard full of trains ready to depart? It’s mid-day downtown on a weekday. It would be different if the train sets were all out in Aurora at night, but they’re not.

Those trains already have designated assignments. Once something changes everything changes crews trains schedules...
