Re: MDOT, Lake states and other news

The Michigan shore grant flew under the radar, but I think that could breathe life into the line in the future if G&W gets out. Coopersville one surprises me. Shocked they made the right choice to go after government money for IMC, but are they actually going to create jobs? There’s no non-profit m...

Re: Amtrak 355 accident-New Buffalo

I didn't realize the rear unit was sitting on the siding at Three Oaks, but I did see the lead unit and cars set aside along US 12 yesterday. DSC_0388.JPG DSC_0383.JPG Sounds like a data base was down in the 911 system allowing them to enter cross streets, and the 911 dispatcher called CSX by mista...

Re: Amtrak 355 accident-New Buffalo

Re: Amtrak 355 accident-New Buffalo

I've heard more on the story that Amtrak was never contacted although police apparently said they were. I think there needs to be more education for people to use that 1-800# versus waiting on PD or other agencies to make the call. I'm not narking on anyone because I believe that tow truck driver a...
