Slight correcction: The Woodward line is assigned out of the "Gilbert" Terminal, and has been since 1970 when the Highland Park Terminal was closed down. It did operate out of Shoemaker for a short period [[btwn 2003-04) when Gilbert was being rehabbed, but returned in 2004. However, effective Jan 14, 2012, the Woodward line will be reassigned to the remolded and reopened Shoemaker Terminal.
