Rocko's comment lamented the construction of a new Amtrak / commuter rail station in the New Center area, across from the existing Amshack.
I don't think it's a bad location at all for a "main" rail station. Since many destinations in Detroit will be beyond walking distance of this station, distribution will have to be provided by the local transit system, which in this case, is the Woodward Light Rail.
The New Center location has both necessary ingredients:
1. existing rail trackage
2. along the routing of the proposed local transit system.
There aren't any locations in the CBD that have both of these.
