Michigan Central Station in Detroit
The Michigan Central Station in Detroit had replaced the original depot in the downtown area after a major fire forced it to shut down on December 26, 1913. Although the new station was not complete, it was put into service, and there were over 200 trains leaving the station daily by the start of World War I.
By World War II, the station was used primarily my military troops. But as cars became more popular, train traffic decreased. And by 1988, the station was shut down for good but Ford Motor Company bought the property in 2018 with plans to use the former station for their own benefit.
