If the strike happens, nine of Metra's 11 lines could be halted Friday.
Both BNSF Railway and Union Pacific Railroad - which own and operate the lines - have said they will begin curtailing service on Thursday after the evening rush in preparation for the stoppage, according to a statement from Metra. • Inbound trains 1296, 1298, 1300, and 1302 are canceled • Inbound trains 372 and 374 are canceled • Inbound trains 666 and 668 are canceled • Inbound train 68 is canceled Metra says they're hopeful that a settlement can be reached before the deadline.
On Monday, Amtrak suspended service on three routes out west to make sure trains would arrive before any potential disruptions.Union Pacific is scheduled to replace about 68,000 rail ties on the UP North north line - between the Ravenswood Metra station and Kenosha. Work is set to begin Tuesday and will be done mostly overnight to lessen the impact - but Metra says some delays are possible.
