Of course they would have liked a full car on the train to de-rail.
But knowing how I dislike mondays, it would make them even worse, to have the train delayed while they cleared the tracks.......
a strike at the money part of the U.S. ?
Or ha-ha-ha, look what we can do.
I don't know what's going on with trains in Chicago.
Here's a "new" incident which happened last Thursday, yet this is the first I heard of it:

Metra suspends speeding engineer
Train exceeds limit at fatal-accident site
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-0510040227oct04,1,1658815.story?coll=chi-news-hed
A Metra engineer has been suspended without pay after he sped through the South Side site of a recent fatal train derailment during an afternoon rush hour last week, causing passengers to file complaints, a Metra spokeswoman said.
The southbound train exceeded the 20 m.p.h. speed limit on a section of track that was installed after the Sept. 17 derailment just south of 47th Street near the Dan Ryan Expressway so trains could go around the accident site, Metra spokeswoman Judy Pardonnet said Monday.

The incident happened Thursday on train No. 411, which departed LaSalle Street station at 4:57 p.m. Pardonnet said the engineer and conductor were taken off their jobs that day, but she didn't know how Metra learned of the incident.
