Michigan’s Phantom Crossing
There used to be a railroad crossing is along a former alignment of US 27 between Lansing and Ithaca, Michigan. Old highway 27 was rerouted to the west and renamed as highway 127.
The roadway removed was either the responsibility of the Michigan Department of Transportation or the Gratiot County Road Commission. However, the railroad crossing equipment is the property and responsibility of the railroad so no state or county workers could or would touch it.
