I don't find it very likely that transcontinental commerce would be affected by some guy tossing a bomb into a wastebasket, and then boarding a Metra train.

What if he tossed it at a switch?

Any way Argonne and Batavia are bigger targets.

Pipe bomb found near train track, Sacbee News 18/02/2000
Two Amtrak trains were cancelled and a third was delayed for two hours while explosives technicians removed and then detonated a small pipe bomb from an area near a railroad track causeway Thursday in Yolo County.

The 6-inch piece of plastic pipe, about 1 to 2 inches in diameter, was found about eight feet from the track in the Yolo bypass area between West Sacramento and Davis at around 10:45 a.m. by a Union Pacific Railroad track worker.
