North Ravenswood and West Thome

In West Rogers Park, on the Metra tracks above North Ravenswood and West Thome (just southeast of Misericordia), a pedestrian was fatally struck by a train at around 5:00 P.M., causing in lengthy delays for Metra passengers. When service resumed at approximately 8:15 P.M., several trains sped noisily past my neighborhood with horns blaring in intervals shorter than usual.
