Police search Metra train after bomb threat

A Metra train heading inbound from Kenosha was stopped and searched outside the Chicago Ogilvie Transportation Center Wednesday morning after police received a bomb threat, Metra officials confirmed.

The Union Pacific North Line train was stopped just before 10:30 a.m. after Kenosha Police received a bomb threat from an unknown person calling from a pay phone outside the Kenosha Metra station, Kenosha Sgt. Gene Heckel said.

The train was stopped for about an hour as Metra police along with a canine unit searched the cars before arriving in the station at 11:30 a.m.

A second train on the line was delayed at the Clybourn station for approximately 10 minutes while the first train was searched, officials said.
