BANGOR, Mich. — Amtrak trains were delayed by two area train-car collisions Saturday.
An Amtrak spokesman told FOX 17 NEWS that the most recent occurred at 8:10 p.m. Saturday when a car drove into the side of an Amtrak train nine miles from Bangor in northern Van Buren County. The train was en route to Holland and was delayed for 1 hour and 32 minutes.
There were no injuries in that incident.
That followed an incident earlier in the day — at about 10:30 a.m. Saturday — when a different Amtrak train encountered two cars sitting on the tracks when it arrived at Buchanan in southeastern Berrien County. That train was delayed for 50 minutes.
There also were no injuries in that incident.

I do not even know the way I finished up right here, however I
thought this post used to be good. I don’t recognise who you’re but
definitely you are going to a famous blogger when you are not already.
Cheers!

I’m not sure exactly why but this blog is loading very slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a issue on my end? I’ll
check back later on and see if the problem still exists.
