My inbound train #1226 was only four minutes late out of Clarendon Hills. I did note that several of my fellow commuters need to pay closer attention to the station announcements as they all crammed onto the local #1230 which normally runs 4 minutes ahead of #1226.

Trains running through to Aurora now now still saying up to 20min delay.

...some trains are stop-skipping, perhaps to make up time, or to bypass blocked track.

This evening's rush hour on the BNSF seems to be progressing with minimal delays. My train #1261 arrived at Clarendon Hills on time.

Interesting location for a derailment.
