C.P.D. Stop M.E. at 57th Street because some stupid ass left his carryon on the train

Trains were stopped for an hour and a half on the Metra Electric District line on the South Side this morning while authorities investigated a suspicious package that turned out to be an empty suitcase, authorities said.

Two inbound trains, numbers 114 and 116, were stopped around 115th Street about 8:20 a.m. while other inbound and outbound trains were halted near 53rd Street as canine units checked the package, according to Metra. Passengers who were waiting on the platform were moved away from the tracks, officials said.
Police cleared the scene at 10 a.m., Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Michael Sullivan said. The suspicious package was an empty suitcase, he said.
Tom Mahlum said police stopped him from getting to his hair salon because of a suspicious package they found. He said about two dozen police cars were at the scene. Police cordoned off the area between Blackstone and Stony Island avenues along 57th Street, he said.
