Commuter train lines in Chicago are back in business after officials closed them as a precaution following a factory explosion. Metra spokesman Michael Gillis says several inbound and outbound trains had been delayed. He says trains could operate about an hour late for the next few hours. But he says trains should be running on time by rush hour. The lines closed for a few hours Friday morning were Milwaukee District West, Milwaukee District North and North Center Service. Authorities say the explosion sent bricks and other debris hundreds of feet in the air and injured two workers. ______ Copyright 2009 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
