Metra trains on the Union Pacific Northwest train were halted during the afternoon rush Wednesday after a train hit a car on Chicago's Northwest Side. The train hit the car at the Bryn Mawr crossing, near Bryn Mawr Avenue between the diagonal Avondale Avenue and Northwest Highway at about 6200 West in the Norwood Park neighborhood.

Two busy suburban Metra lines in and out of Chicago were stopped and facing major delays Friday morning due to a vehicle striking a bridge near Clybourn, Metra said.
