Train Derails in West Chicago!According to stories on the Chicago Suntimes website, and ABC7 Chicago website and Trains.com, a northbound Canadian National (formerly EJ&E) freight train derailed just north of the Washington St grade crossing in West Chicago at around 8:00 Monday morning, February 15, 2021. METRA and UP West line (formerly C&NW) traffic was blocked for more than five hours. Metra passengers were bused between West Chicago and Geneva until the west line was reopened around 1:30 that afternoon. No one was reported injured.
