People planning to get back on a South Shore Line train Saturday should make other transit plans.

South Shore service will continue to be suspended through Saturday, according to a news release.

“Out of an abundance of caution, Metra has determined that it continues to require additional time to address the damage to the Metra Electric District caused by a CN freight train derailment and adverse impacts from the extremely frigid weather,” the railroad said in a release.

The South Shore expects to be able to restore service Sunday, but also said the resumption of service was not a certainty.

Test trains will operate Saturday to assess track and wire conditions, the release said.

When service is restored, riders at the Gary Metro Center will find the elevator to the platform is back in service, the railroad said in the release.
