Ogilvie train station shut down and evacuated due to suspicious package (at least that's the story right now). Streets on all four sides of the station blocked off. This all started about 4:00pm CST, right when I showed up to catch the train out to my class at a community college. It is now about 6:30 and still no trains in or out on the three UP lines that use Ogilvie. Needless to say I am not getting to my class tonight.

At least one local news outlet said it is causing some delays on Amtrak out of Union, but they weren't more specific than that. I'm guessing it would be the Hiawatha.
