In this video I will take you back to the Michigan Central Station. My self & my two children will show you how it was on January 6th., 1988 when the station closed and the last Amtrak left the station - The station reopened June 6. 2024. We will show you how it looks today. Walking into the building for the first time is breath taking and just spectacular.
