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.

MTU gets on board
Michigan Tech is establishing a "Rail Transportation Program" as part of the Michigan Tech Transportation Institute. CSX has donated $33,000 and will help develop the program. This comes a month after Michigan State's announcement of the "Certificate Program in Railway Management", which sounds even more ambitious and includes an endowed chair.
