Metra riders in the south suburbs will now be able to use the South Shore trains, with westbound Train 600 Sunday, after being temporarily suspended due to Chicago’s recent deep freeze. In addition, the Electric Line will have limited service.
Metra Electric trains will run on a modified schedule through Friday as the agency continues to make repairs following a derailment.
A schedule posted to Metra’s website is in effect from Tuesday until Friday, the agency said in a statement.
The Electric line has suffered suspended or modified service since last Wednesday, when a deep freeze caused wire problems on the line.
Later that day, a freight train derailed near Harvey and damaged overhead wires and two electrical substations, Metra said.
Plans for weekend service will be announced on or before Friday, Metra said.
