Good afternoon, Chicago.

Union Pacific Railroad sued Metra yesterday in an escalation of an ongoing compensation dispute between the two railroads. Union Pacific alleges Metra owes it close to $2.3 million in the lawsuit, which it filed in federal court in Chicago.

The dispute between the railroads — which spurred Metra to sue Union Pacific earlier this year — centers around Metra’s use of Union Pacific tracks on three busy commuter lines: the Union Pacific North, Northwest and West lines.
