Train Derailment Halts Commuter Service | Chicago News

A freight train derailed on the Grand Calumet River Bridge near East Chicago, knocking out power to electric trains and forcing bus replacements between East Chicago and Hammond Gateway—no end date in sight. Commuters brace for delays, with June passes valid through July (mobile users need app support). Bikes are banned on buses. Rail crews are racing to rebuild damaged overhead lines, but repairs are slow and complex. The transit agency apologizes for the disruption and says they’re doing everything to keep things moving.
