Metra and Union Pacific Railroad announced that on Oct. 8 crews will begin constructing a third track on the UP West commuter line through Maywood, Illinois.
The line through Maywood Station is part of a section of a track that becomes bottlenecked, Metra officials said in a press release. UP and Metra are working to add a third track on the north side of the existing tracks and construct a new inbound platform to alleviate congestion.
