I can't get any confirmation from any other source other than the text alert to this story by my local NBC affiliate.

Will post more information as it becomes available.

Need to commandeer the rails to transport the UFO.

If true, somewhat reminiscent of 9-11

So, when they say “all trains”, do they mean all Amtrak trains? How many trains are under the control of Amtrak? Perhaps all passenger trains are Amtrak?

uhh….all trains nationwide would have to travel pretty far out of their way to pass through Lansing, Michigan.

Most run straight through the IL-IN-OH corridor on their way between New York and the West Coast.

Although I believe all UFO's are some sort of advanced military craft (or psyops) that excellent statement could put you in with us. We have jackets. Well, not yet. But maybe someday.

In this case, it’s a just a systems failure at the Canadian National’s dispatching center in Montreal.

Looks like Thomas the Train will be seeking new employment.

It looks like it's just Amtrak trains (and any freights) in the South Central Michigan area having issues.

Found this Amtrak train tracker, and the Michigan trains are an hour and a half late, and travelling at under 15 mph.

I don't know how normal that is, but I think someone at the Ingham County Alerts meant to say "county wide" but someone interpreted it as "country wide."

Good catch. So it’s a union problem.

It’s an issue with tracks owned by the Canadian National. They have a significant presence in the US due to acquisitions made over the years.
