The Canadian Pacific and B&O also operated out of MCS for a while. I'm not sure of CP routes but my guess would be Detroit-Toronto. The B&O ran the Ambassador out of Detroit, which went to DC and Baltimore [[via Pittsburgh). When the B&O moved this train from MCS and the NYC routing [[as far as Toledo) to Fort Street Union Depot and a C&O routing in 1964, a lone B&O RDC car ran one round trip a week to Toledo and back.
In the Amtrak era, trains ran out of the depot at one time or another with the following end points: Chicago, Jackson, Toledo, New York City [[via Canada and Buffalo).
I'm sure I can dig up some more train names if you're interested.
