The Surface Transportation Board (STB) last week declined to intervene in an ongoing dispute between Metra and Union Pacific Railroad over three Chicago-area commuter-rail lines that UP operates.
Metra late last month asked the STB to issue a preliminary injunction to prevent UP from taking steps that the Chicago commuter railroad says would “degrade or halt” service on the three Metra lines operated by UP.
