A busy suburban Metra train line was halted during the Friday morning commute and “extensive delays” were expected after a pedestrian was struck, Metra said.
Just before 6:30 a.m., inbound and outbound trains on the Metra UP-North line were stopped near Clybourn due to a pedestrian truck by a train, Metra said in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

“Extensive delays are anticipated,” Metra said. “We will update this information as soon as it becomes available.”
NBC 5 traffic reporter Kye Martin noted the busy Clybourn Station was near Ashland and Armitage in Chicago.
The Metra Union Pacific North Line (UP-N) travels from Kenosha to Chicago’s Ogilvy Transportation Center along the lakefront, with stops in Waukegan, Lake Forest, Glencoe, Wilmette, Evanston and more.
