I was thinking what a money maker it could be for a Toledo [[Downtown) to DTW light rail. I, like most business men and women in Toledo, fly out of Detroit Metro fairly often, and if I could drive and park downtown, and take a quick train to the airport, I would. If it could run right into the terminal area, how great would that be. And Detroit has talked for years about light rail linking DTW and the downtown Detroit area. Maybe even a loop, up Toledo, to DTW, to downtown Detroit, back to Toledo.
I was checking rail lines on Google, and there are at least two routes from the Amtrak station in downtown Toledo which would run straight up into Michigan, and then run parallel to Telegraph Rd, then turn and run parallel to I-275, right to DTW. The infrastructure is already there, aside from terminal stations at DTW to receive passengers.
