News round-up 4/9/2008

Not strictly Michigan news, nor even railroading, but CTA has finally partnered with Google Transit! (story)

The Detroit News has a photo essay about the Michigan Central depot in Detroit. (story)

More wrangling in Holland over the re-alignment of CSX's Kollen Park spur. (story)

EDIT: Of course, Google refuses to tell me how to get from downtown to Northwestern's campus. Even without Metra the Purple line goes there, Google. I'm looking at you!

Farm Lane project going forward

MSU and MDOT will hold public meetings over the next two weeks to discuss the proposed elimination of two grade crossings on MSU's campus in East Lansing. According to MSU Today, "beginning mid-to-late March, Farm Lane will be closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic from Mount Hope Road north to Trowbridge Road in order to lower Farm Lane under two railroad crossings: The Canadian National Railroad line just north of Service Road and the CSX Line just north of Mount Hope Road." The project is expected to take about a year.

The crossings are located a little under a mile east of the Amtrak station in East Lansing.
