railroad

A new route connecting Ann Arbor and Traverse City is in the early planning stages.

When you think of building railroads, you probably think of old-timey tough guys with massive hammers, beating in the huge metal stakes as they made their way across the country. Well, the times, they are a changin'.

In Mer Rouge, La., an 18-wheeler got stuck on railroad tracks just as a train was approaching at full speed.

Two women in southern Indiana inadvertently re-enacted the scene from the 1986 movie "Stand By Me," where the guys got caught on a railroad bridge and had to run to escape an oncoming train.

This has to be every trucker's nightmare: You're crossing the train tracks and your truck breaks down.
