Around 4:30 p.m. on Jan. 15, Delta County Central Dispatch received a call that there had been a crash between a passenger vehicle and a train on a quiet road outside Rapid River — where the Canadian National Railroad tracks intersect with U.65 Lane, between the Whitefish River and Whitefish Hill RV Park south of U.S. 2.

“The accident was caused by the pickup truck failing to stop at a stop sign at the train tracks,” wrote Deputy Josh Simmons of the Delta County Sheriff’s Office, who responded to the call.

The truck had been carrying its driver — a young woman — as well as a male passenger and two dogs.

The female driver sustained minor injuries and was transported by Rampart Emergency Medical Services to OSF St. Francis Hospital. No other injuries were reported.

Circled on the map is the place on U.65 Lane where a passenger vehicle hit a train last week.

The train had little to no damage and was moved down the tracks shortly after the accident to clear the road for responders.

The pickup truck had disabling damage and was towed away by Pro Towing.

Michigan State Police and volunteer medics from Masonville also responded to the incident.
