SPRINGFIELD - Officials were trying to determine why several hundred crows are dead along a section of railroad tracks.

The crows were reported Tuesday near Helmer Road in Springfield. Most were on the east side of the roadway, stretching at least 200 yards. Some people estimated as many as 300 of the birds were dead.

Mary Lutzke and her daughter, Kristin Jordan, stopped to see the dead birds and had questions about how and why they all died.

"I love crows," Lutzke said. "Their sound brings me back to my childhood. They are smart and intelligent."

Springfield City Manager Nathan Henne also stopped along the tracks after receiving calls about the bird kill.

Henne said he would contact the Michigan Department of Natural Resources about the birds.

Garbage trains that are double stacks. Actually I don't think the train killed any crows.
This is a good story that needs some following-up on.

Kind of hard to imagine with a 'flock' of crows, do crows even flock? I have seen flocks of birds get fooled by double stacks and shift right into side the top container of a double stacked load that comes after a line of single stacked cars.

 You can have a gap in the middle with three cars.

Snippy's crew is so good that they can switch a single stack out of a couple of double stacks, unlike the TM Cy was once told by some higher-up that he couldn't switch his daddy out of a trackful of hillbillies.

Double tracked right there.

Suspicious?

Garbage cars on stopped train? no

Likely gulped down poison pellets along with scattered corn spilled by parked grainers...
