    Default Michigan Central Station and the Localized Area

    Tracks Showing the Connections from MCS to the river and on Rosa Parks [[12th st.). Was Downtown and was cruising around the old area and just was appreciating the history, Seeing this is where Detroiters received there Goods and Produce for almost a Century. Tons of Frozen Storage Warehouses, old railroad tracks. Almost 75% of the Buildings in this Area are original and almost all from a time when Detroit was Flourishing. Comments from former Workers in the Area or Maps and detailed accounts much appreciated.

    The Michigan Central freight depot was down on the river behind the Union Depot and was separate from the passenger station. It had also been used for passenger service until it burned on the day after Christmas in 1913 and was replaced with Michigan Central Station.
