Metra Union Pacific West train briefly stuck on Chicago tracks

Outbound Union Pacific West Metra train No. 57 headed toward Elburn was stopped outside the Chicago station due to mechanical issues, causing some delays.

The train stopped at about 5:45 p.m. and, loaded with passengers, was standing near Kinzie Street at about 7 p.m., not far from the station.

Crews tied a second train to No. 57 to push it to Elburn, making all stops, Metra officials said. The next inbound train was delayed a little under two hours.
