The transit agency said BNSF trains were stopped just before 9 a.m. at Western Avenue due to the incident and police activity. An alert posted to Metra's website said inbound and outbound trains were on the move, but that some would be "extensively delayed."
Passengers were safe, and the Chicago Police Department was investigating, Metra said.
