South Shore And Limited Metra Electric Lines Will Resume Service Sunday

Chicago (CBS) -- After several days of canceled service, both the South Shore Line and Metra Electric Line will resume service tomorrow.

Both lines were suspended this week due to extreme cold weather conditions on Wednesday and Thursday. However, neither line reopened Friday or Saturday after a CN freight train derailed Wednesday night and damaged structures supporting the track's power lines.

The South Shore Line will resume normal operations Sunday.

Great news - while SSL service is still cancelled today (Sat 2/2), we will resume normal operations on Sunday, 2/3. Thanks to our wonderful passengers for their patience at this challenging time.

Metra Electric District will run limited service Sunday. Service between Millennium Station and Kensington/115th Street and along the South Chicago Branch will operate, but service south will remain suspended as we continue to repair damage caused by a freight train derailment.
