Passenger Trains > #5 Reversing through Downers Grove on Main 1 todayDate: 06/29/20 14:21 #5 Reversing through Downers Grove on Main 1 today Author: Mpower361 Anyone know what was going on in the BNSF West Line area to Aurora this afternoon? Shortly after passing through Downers Grove on Main 2 Amtrak #5 returned reversing on the same track almost behind #4 which was inbound on Main 3. Several minutes later #5 returned at speed heading west on Main 3. Made for an interesting afternoon at Main Street!

See photos. I suspect the Z train had an issue and was blocking the Lisle crossover. After #5 backed past Fairview on Main 1 it crossed over to Main 2 where it was able to finally get past Belmont.
