With the way gas prices are fluctuating these days, it's no wonder Kalamazoo residents are looking to cut costs, or at least share the cost, when it comes to getting around West Michigan.
"Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound." I thought of that opening line to the Superman tv series from my youth, as I reading news about Amtrak raising speed limits for some of its trains as they roll through Michigan.
Sure stopping for a train anytime can be a pain, but is it ever worth your life? This driver on M-43 in Bangor put theirs in jeopardy playing chicken with an oncoming Amtrak train.
