   WILMINGTON, IL – An Amtrak crash in northern Illinois is   
   effecting service for passengers from St. Louis. FOX 2 has   
   learned that a train that left St. Louis Friday morning is now   
   coupled to the one involved in the wreck and still on its way to   
   Chicago.   
      
   There were no serious injuries after an Amtrak train from San   
   Antonio slammed into a tractor trailer at a crossing in   
   Wilmington.   
      
   The crash happened Friday afternoon about an hour south of   
   Chicago. The trailer flipped, spilling debris along the tracks.   
   Passengers on the train involved in the crash were apparently   
   put on buses and taken to Chicago.   
      
   Our newsroom has received several calls from people on the other   
   train that left Friday morning. They say there are unacceptable   
   conditions on the train.   
      
   An Amtrak spokesperson says the 302 train with 258 people on   
   board was delayed several hours earlier Friday, unrelated to the   
   crash. Now, the train is attached to the accident train and   
   making its way to Chicago. They are nearly 10 hours late   
   according to the Amtrak website.   
      
   The Amtrak spokesperson says the situation is a terrible   
   inconvenience and that what passengers are reportedly   
   experiencing is not a standard level of service.   
      
   No serious injuries have been reported
