CHESTERTON -

The South Shore commuter railway in northern Indiana is making changes in stops and rules because of the NATO summit this weekend in Chicago.

The Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District says all passengers traveling on Sunday and Monday can expect rigorous security checks at stations and significant delays en route for screening. All westbound trains will go through a full stop and individual screening at Hegewisch Station in Chicago. Law enforcement officers with canine units will be at all security checkpoints.

Several stops in Chicago will be closed Saturday through Monday and some trains will be canceled.

Riders may carry only one bag. Boxes, parcels, luggage, backpacks and bicycles will not be allowed on trains. Riders will not be allowed to carry food or liquid on the trains.
