From https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/tra ... ast-side-1:
Train gets stuck after tracks cave in on Detroit's east side
Officials say tracks practically sunk into ground

DETROIT - A train is blocking a roadway in Detroit after coming off the tracks, which practically sunk into the ground, according to officials.

The train has been stuck since around 5 p.m. Tuesday (3/20/18). Officials said the tracks sunk into the ground, disabling the train and causing backups along Outer Drive at 7 Mile and 8 Mile roads.

[...]

Drivers who frequent the crossing insisted that the train tracks have been a problem for months and little was done to fix the crumbling concrete.

Sort of looks like Train 515, the local out of Pontiac that switches that large distribution center daily between 7 and 8 Mile Roads. I don't recall it coming back to Pontiac yesterday afternoon so this must be why.

Looks like Channel 4 has found a Carmen Harlan lookalike.
