Several streets in Elgin reopened after a freight train broke down Monday morning, officials said.
Route 31 was closed between Lawrence Avenue and National Street until about 10:45 a.m. because of the disabled train, Deputy Chief Bill Wolf said.
Sides streets around the area also were affected, but all streets have reopened, Wolf said.
The tail end of a train that was reported as derailed rests on the tracks in the downtown area along Route 31 Monday morning.
