    Police End Inquiry into Train/Car Collision

    There is a light before the tracks that is also activated when the gates are people beat that light and then get hung up by the next light. And then this is what happens that is a very close call since it is 2 lanes there they could have turned to the right and they would have been in the clear.

    The Blue Water and Pere Marquette trains are again under the gun.

    As far as that line Michigan puts in a little money but a lot of the money is from the Federal Govt since Amtrak owns the line from Kalamazoo to Porter. As far as the State funded trains Michigan wants very little to do with them.

    The Blue Water and Pere Marquette trains are again under the gun.
