ELGIN, Ill. (WLS) -- A Metra spokesperson says a pedestrian was struck and killed by an outbound Metra Milwaukee West Line train just west of the Elgin train station on Wednesday afternoon.

Trains will be single tracking around the incident and there should only be minimal delays.

Train #2242 which was supposed to head into Chicago was cancelled because it was the train that struck the pedestrian.

Train #2239 and #2241 will operate as a combination train Wednesday evening. This train will depart Chicago at 5:27 p.m.
