Major delays during the Monday morning commute were reported on several Metra lines across the Chicagoland area due to signal issues, officials said.
The delays were first reported just before 6 a.m. Monday when Metra reported trains on the Milwaukee District North (MD-N), Union Pacific Northwest, Heritage Corridor and North Central Service lines were stopped.
Metra said inbound and outbound trains were stopped due to “positive train control system issues” and the duration of the delays would be unknown.
Around 7 a.m., Metra said the positive train control system issues were caused by the Canadian National Railway.
