I think someone at the Ingham County Alerts meant to say "county wide" but someone interpreted it as "country wide."Ah, okay, that would explain why this story isn't bigger news.
To: Yo-Yo
"all trains nation-wide have been stopped Huh?
If that were true wouldn’t Drudge’s page be full of huge red text and sirens and explosions and stuff?

Just because it’s a train thread... A buddy and I just got back from a road trip to see the Union Pacific 4014 Big Boy. The largest steam locomotive there is, and the only one of eight remaining that actually runs. I have rarely been so impressed. 133 feet long, 17 feet tall, 1.3MM pounds. Each driver wheel is 68” tall. Almost takes your breath to see it move.

The Amtrak to Chicago just went by doing 79 mph (still East of Ann Arbor) and there’s a freight going by right now. I’m about 3 or 4 mile from the track.
To: WhoisAlanGreenspan?
The tracks to which you refer are owned by the Norfolk Southern, not the Canadian National, the railroad that is experiencing the outage.

According to the Amtrak tracker, there are currently two Amtrak trains in Michigan. One going westbound from Detroit towards Battle Creek is traveling at 63 MPH, and one Eastbound from Battle Creek towards Jackson traveling at 57 MPH.
Looking at the history of both trains, they are both about an hour and a half late, but both were essentially on time until about 11:30 AM.
So whatever caused the hour-and-a-half stoppage appears to have been cleared up.

Canada. CN bought the Illinois Central decades ago and more recently acquired the Wisconsin Central.

I could start a conspiracy theory about how it’s an attempted terrorist attack. Would that help?
To: Flaming Conservative
Only if you can frame Canada’s rail unions as terrorists.

That stopped in our town last week.

I haven’t see a Real train in years
To: Yo-Yo
I live along Canadian National tracks, and there's one going north as we speak (intermodal -- shipping containers).
Can't imagine what the heck they're talking about. There's been no stoppage all morning here (northern Illinois).

Misleading headline, again.
No, people, NOT all trains are stopped in the whole nation. Basically just Canadian National network of rail.
