CHICAGO — Metra trains are once again moving after being stopped Friday morning, but there are major delays.
All trains going to or coming from Union Station were temporarily stopped Friday morning because of "computer signaling problems" at Union Station, Metra wrote on Twitter.
About 8 a.m., Metra said trains were "slowly" leaving and entering the station. They were facing "extensive" delays because there were 42 trains trying to leave or enter Union Station.
There are 42 trains waiting to get into/out of Union Station. Delays are extensive and trains are slowly starting to enter/exit the station.
