Plymouth testing cameras at train crossing. Here's where and why

Plymouth motorists tired of waiting for trains to pass may soon have a new way to avoid getting stuck at railroad crossings. The Plymouth City Commission voted unanimously to launch a pilot program that will use cameras to monitor the North Main Street railroad crossing near Bode’s Corned Beef House, allowing drivers to check for blocked crossings through a mobile app or website. If all goes well, cameras could be added at other crossings in the future. “If you’ve ever driven through, worked, lived in, been near the city of Plymouth, you’ve probably experienced … waiting at a train, or two or three,” Plymouth Economic Development Director John Buzuvis said at a Nov. 2 meeting. The city has seven railroad crossings within its 2.2 square miles, all operated by CSX, with trains passing through often enough to cause delays and, sometimes, blockages, he said. More: Police: Garbage truck driver went around lowered gates in Amtrak crash More: Police: Mother, 2 young daughters struck by train in Ecorse How it works The new system, called InterFact, uses solar-powered cameras to capture still images of crossings approximately once per minute, providing crossing status information through a website and mobile platform, including notifications

Marian volleyball ousts Farmington Hills Mercy in Division 1 regional final

BLOOMFIELD HILLS — The top two teams in the state did not disappoint in the Division 1 regional finals matchup, and there will officially be a new champion to end the year. No. 2-ranked Birmingham Marian survived a back-and-forth bout to defeat defending champion Farmington Hills Mercy in four sets, 25-23, 26-24, 21-25, 25-17. The win avenges what was a 1-3 record against Mercy this year, topping off its sole victory that came in the Catholic League Bishop championship game. The matchup exemplified the story of the last decade of Division 1 volleyball in the state, as six of the last seven champions have been one of the two programs. Heading into the game, Marian head coach Mayssa Cook knew it wouldn’t just be any other playoff game, but luckily the history between the two allowed for an anticipated approach. “I knew we had to have middles involved,” Cook said. “I said to them, ‘Ladies, all three of you bigs have to be on, because they are that good.’ So are we, but it’s any given day. They’re an awesome team, but I knew our seniors had to be on to clinch this victory.” The first set started just as

Livonia Franklin football wants to keep post-victory tradition going

LIVONIA — Adversity can tear some teams apart. For Livonia Franklin (9-2), it did the opposite. A close call in Week 7 sparked the six-game winning streak that has carried Franklin through the Division 2 playoffs. After edging Allen Park, 35-28, in the opener, Franklin upset unbeaten Gibraltar Carlson , 17-6, to capture its 10th district title and first since winning back-to-back championships in 2021 and 2022. Franklin visits Grosse Pointe South (10-1) Friday, Nov. 13, with a shot at the state semifinals for the fifth time in program history. That Week 7 scare against 1-8 White Lake Lakeland set everything in motion. Franklin trailed 14-0 before rallying for a 35-28 victory. “That game really taught us that we can’t take any team lightly, no matter what their record is,” junior Tyler Brown said. “We can’t over complicate how we prepare. We’ve just got to work hard no matter who the opponent is.” More: Subscribe to “Michigan Sidelines,” our high school sports newsletter Instead of pointing fingers, the players leaned on their chemistry.
