SUN TIMES MEDIA WIRE - Multiple west suburban Metra trains were experiencing delays because of mechanical problems Monday morning.
Inbound trains on BNSF RailWay line were operating up to 20 minutes behind schedule as of 8:30 a.m. because of mechanical problems, according to service alerts from Metra.
