Last night's Wolverine train 354 (Chicago-Pontiac) was supposed to depart Chicago at 17:50 CST. The train didn't attempt to leave Union Station until 19:24, stopped while still next to the platform, attempted again at 19:50, made it as far as around 18th Street only for the lead locomotive to...

That was intentional because there's already the Wolverine (and the RTA commuter rail if that actually happens).

A (garbage IMO) Detroit-Toledo service is also in the works. https://www.13abc.com/content/news/Toledo-Detroit-passenger-rail-project-study--508662081.html...

Restore Vermonter service to Montreal. Restore the Niagara Rainbow and extend it further west to Chicago (not sure if something like this is feasible, as you would have to take it through Canada). Restore the Broadway Limited. Restore service between Detroit and Toledo, but with new stops in...

You forgot Cincinnati (and whenever the Hoosier State is discontinued, Indianapolis as well).

What!? What Battle Creek are they talking about? There is only one Battle Creek that has Amtrak service, the one here in Michigan, that is served by the Blue Water and the Wolverine.

Same thing occurs when you cross over from Michigan (which is in the Eastern Time Zone) into Indiana (in the Central Time Zone) or vice-versa. Been through that in 2009 twice, first on train #351 (which was between Kalamazoo and Chicago) and again heading back on train #350 (the train was...

I hope for the same, excpet for the day Amtrak decides to create a route from Detroit down into the South and stops in Wyandotte, MI instead of heading up to Dearborn, board a Wolverine to Chicago (or head to Detroit and travel on a Thruway bus (we haden't have Amtrak service through Wyandotte...

Back in April 2009, I was on train #350 returning from Chicago and somewhere near Parma, MI the train suddenly went very slowly. So here I am, in a seat in a Horizon coach car (or was it the business class car? I can't remember that far) with the blue interior. The train went slow all the way...

Tuesday, April 14, 2009: At around 6:30 AM, I arrived at the Amtrak Dearborn Station. There, I waited until the door to the platform was unlocked, then I went out into a typical Michigan early spring cold, dark teal skies, waiting for Train #351. At approximately 7:10 AM, Train #351 arrived at...

Or you could take the Wolverine to a Michigan Wolverines game. :lol:
