Sterling Heights Eyes Commuter Rail to Detroit as Old Tracks Get Torn Up Up North

Sterling Heights city leaders are exploring whether an existing freight rail corridor running through Sterling Heights and Warren could one day carry passengers again, linking Macomb County to downtown Detroit for the first time since commuter rail service in the region ended in 1983. The push comes with urgency attached: officials say sections of the line are already being dismantled, and the window to preserve the corridor may not stay open much longer.

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
