The state wherein you are again on the 8:20 ME and it is again delayed massively due to track work between van buren and 11th that Metra oversees but that Metra cannot be bothered to announce at boarding at millennium or van buren @onthemetra.bsky.social @starlinechicago.bsky.social

🎢Woke up, fell out of bed,
Dragged a comb across my head,
Found my way downstairs & drank a cup, & looking up, I noticed I was late.

Found my coat & grabbed my hat,
Made the Metra in seconds flat,
Found my way upstairs & had a smoke,
& somebody spoke & I went into a dream🎢

SWS train 821, scheduled to arrive Manhattan at 6:30 PM, is (still) stopped near Wrightwood due to a vehicle stuck on the tracks. Extensive delay is anticipated. Metra will update you as information becomes available.
