The Saginaw Newsreports a proposed alignment change in Saginaw. Details, including the owner of the track (!), are scanty. I'm staring at Meints' Michigan Railroad Lines and I'm trying to work out what this belonged to--probably the belt line or something like that.
UPDATE. Well, that's almost certainly the old Grand Trunk Western line which ran from Bay City down to Durand, now operated by the Saginaw Bay Southern. Don't know where they'd move it to.

Morning round-up for 2/20/2008
The Royal Oak Daily Tribune is running a story about local reactions to Amtrak's institution of random passenger screening on the Northeast Corridor. Response is positive--provided the new methods don't cause any (more) delays. Still no word on when Amtrak will expand beyond the Northeast--if it mucks up the Acela it could be quite a while before it gets here.
The Saginaw News reports that Bridgeport may abandon a side street which crosses the Saginaw Bay Southern just north of the downtown. Town officials cited the cost of repairing the road and safety concerns. I've driven through there and it makes for a really tight intersection--there's two grade crossings right next to each other.
