The Metra Electric District and Union Pacific North Line will run extra train service for anticipation of larger than normal crowds for Chicago home games at Soldier Field. 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 information click here.

The Metra Electric Line will be partially shut down on two weekends in December, Dec. 7-8 and Dec. 14-15, due to extensive construction associated with the South Shore Line’s expansion plans, work that will also benefit Metra Electric riders.
