Dearborn Amtrak Station

How is the parking at the station in Dearborn, MI? I will be taking the Wolverine from there to Chicago in August and was wondering if it is safe to leave my car there for a couple of days.

Extremely safe. The Amtrak station shares the parking lot with the Dearborn police station.

It's in a really nice area, kind of wooded and scenic train-side and then a big parking lot with a busy road on the other side. I wouldn't mind leaving my car there.

The station is nice too. Lots of comfy chairs, and it's kind of small, so the desk attendant can see everything at once.

Thanks for the replies. I'm looking forward to riding the Wolverine for the first time. How is the scenery between Dearborn & Chicago?

You'll see a lot of cities, colleges, farmland, Lake Michigan (near Michigan City), and woods. It's pretty nice.

Thanks. I'm looking forward to it.

Yes, Engineer is right. In addition you'll see, as the train nears Chicago, plenty of industrial landscape close up to the tracks. Abandoned and otherwise. I actually like it.
