Harvard resident Carl Ray boarded the Metra Union Pacific Northwest line bound for Chicago on Saturday morning, headed for Wrigley Field and a day at the ballpark.

He and his fiancée had spent more than $1,200 for a Chicago Cubs destination package that included a tour of the Friendly Confines, lunch with some of the players, and an evening tilt against the Boston Red Sox.

Not included were significant delays after the No. 702 train struck a pedestrian at 6:55 a.m. before making its first stop in Woodstock, according to authorities.
