There was a possibility of a strike between union rail workers and railroad companies looming this week, so Metra cancelled 4 busy Chicago-area routes for tonight. However, an agreement was reached late last night to stop the the strike and continue service on all trains. Your commute will not be disrupted!
Metra’s post on the Facebook said, “We are greatly relieved that we will be able to continue to provide the safe and reliable service that you deserve and that you rely upon. Please accept our apologies for this week of uncertainty and anxiety, and our thanks for your patience and understanding. The late Thursday evening trains that had been canceled by BNSF and Union Pacific in anticipation of a strike will now run as scheduled”
