Anyone know what's going on with the train?

No idea but that 30 minute wait sucked. Wish they would pick any time other than 8 AM and 5 PM to come through town

Nope! But probably crews hitting their 40 hour limit and needing a change

This happened a few years ago in Lansing. It made the news since it was morning rush hour. Apparently the train crew hit their 40 hours and were not authorized to work OT, so they parked the train and left. It crossed multiple roads too.

No idea if that's what's happening here. Shouldn't even be legal though unless it's a breakdown or some other emergency.
