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.

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.

Ping... Sounds like the ending of a certain story (if I remember correctly).

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."

"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.

I could start a conspiracy theory about how it’s an attempted terrorist attack. Would that help?

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.
