No other details were provided, such as whether the crossing arms were lowered at the time of the collision.Two unidentified girls in the vehicle were killed, and another person was transported to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood. The injured person's condition has not been disclosed. Pleasantdale School District 107 said in a statement that two of its elementary school students had been the victims in the crash."Words cannot express the heartbreak and sorrow we feel as we mourn this devastating loss," Dave Palzet, the district superintendent, wrote. "We extend our deepest condolences to the family. Our thoughts, prayers, and support are with them. ... This loss will affect everyone in our school family and in the greater Pleasantdale school community."The Cook County medical examiner's office had not released their names or other details, though they were identified as female. None of the 35 passengers and crew were hurt, Amtrak said.Train customers were moved to a bus to continue west, with that bus making all of the regular train stops between La Grange and Quincy, according to Amtrak. Several law enforcement and emergency response teams were on site as the investigation continues. Crossings at Grand Avenue and Wolf Road are closed, but Lawn Avenue remains open. All traffic and pedestrians should avoid the area until further notice. Those tracks are also used by Metra's BNSF line, which announced significant cancellations, warning passengers that crowding on remaining trains could be severe and to plan on alternate transportation if possible, according to the Metra website. A Metra spokesperson said that while the tracks were fine and some trains had passed through Wednesday night, crew rest hour requirements could carry over delays into early Thursday, though service would likely be close to normal.As a result, inbound and outbound BNSF trains would travel only between Union Station and La Grange Road, and between Aurora and Hinsdale. No train service will be provided between Stone Avenue and Highlands, according to a service alert on the Metra website.Western Springs has not provided any updates on the accident. ...read more read less
