Per News 8, Grand Elk has derailed on or near the 36th Street crossing in Wyoming, the road is closed until the train can be rerailed.

Ah, per the article, sounds like they hit a derail... probably protecting the MOW crews that are replacing ties I'd think.

"Fred, did you take down the derail?" "No, Elroy did it." Ummmm....sounds like someone forgot to take down the derail after work was completed for the day.
Can someone say, check, check and countercheck the work site?

Re: MICH Shortline Updates October 2017
The Ann Arbor Railroad made a rare visit to the Saline Branch today. They brought a car storage train (mostly comprised of TILX tanks) up from Milan and to Pittsfield junction, where they shoved the cars up the Saline Branch to around Industrial Drive out near the Saline city limits. They backed up State St. for nearly five minutes, and with the game day traffic, it backed up miles of cars in each direction.
