Trains blocking crossings

Michigan law limits a train to 5 minutes blocking a road crossing, under Mich. Comp. Laws § 462.391. A court has held that federal law preempts this limit, so it generally cannot be enforced against railroads. Checked 16 October 2026.

The FRA lists 1,848 reports of trains blocking public crossings in this county.
