Overview
- Following Thursday's crash at Green Bay Road and Linden Avenue in Wilmette, Metra stopped all Union Pacific North trains in both directions.
- Metra said UP-N train 337, scheduled to reach Kenosha at 3:45 p.m., hit a flatbed truck carrying a cold milling machine around 2:46 p.m.
- City officials reported multiple minor injuries and confirmed no fatalities as emergency crews and investigators worked at the closed Linden Avenue crossing.
- Metra canceled at least two trains scheduled after 3 p.m. and warned that delays could be extensive with no estimate to resume service.
- Aerial images showed the milling machine on its side next to the train, and riders were urged to find other routes on the busy Chicago–Kenosha corridor.
