    I live in Michigan, my wifes family are from that area and I have driven by that building numerous times. I'm glad they are putting this building back into use.
  • Thanks for posting Gary! Nice to see the old train station being brought back to life.
  • @MikeG42
    I have always liked the old Michigan Central Station. Nice architecture and one of the best things about Detroit. Good video thanks TrainroomGary 🙂👍

    What a difference, back in the early 80's I took a Amtrak train ride to Toronto and the last stop was Detroit. Station was in very much in disrepair, cold, dark and water leaking from all over. Happy to see the improvements being made. FYI back in that time I had to take a cab to Windsor to catch a Via train to Toronto. Thank you for the tour.

    Glad to see that they saved the station, Gary!

    Fun trip with you in your Ford truck Gary. I'm excited to see the work being done on the station. The bridge will also be a nice addition. Cheers from Pittsburgh PA 👍
  • Nice tour, Gary, glad to see they’re restoring the railroad station back to life again look forward to seeing that complete, sure looks cold out there. Hope you have the heater blasting in that Ford 150 cheers from palm tree land.😊🚂🌴 4:27
