Trains on the Metra Union Pacific/Northwest Line are delayed this morning due to a stalled train near Fox River Grove.

According to Metra, Inbound trains 620, 622 and 624, all scheduled to arrive Chicago between 8:01 a.m. and 8:26 a.m, were stalled in the vicinity of the Fox River Grove depot due to a mechanical problem.
