Could passenger rail service return to Michigan Central in Corktown?

[Richard]

Officials from Amtrak, the state of Michigan Department of Transportation and VIA Rail Canada also emphasized how nascent the idea remains.

I had to look up nascent,the definition is ,just coming into existence and beginning to display signs of future potential ,first passenger rail service started in 1830,I can see the need to be nascent as it is a new concept in 2023 it will probably take decades to figure out how to do it.

If they have not figured it out in 193 years,odds are they will not now.

Maybe they could start small but high tech with a horse drawn rail car.

The concept is not really that complicated,boards on the ground with steel rails on top that a box with wheels rolls on,throw some bleachers on top to provide seating and bingo you can move passengers via rail,if you want to get real highfalutin you can attach one of those new fangled steam powered locomotives on the front and ditch the horses.

They figured out how to sucker people into a 6 billion dollar free bridge but they cannot figure out how to move people from point A to point B in the most efficient manner while saving the planet in the process. It’s enough to rile up even a little Swedish girl.

Having said that,I thought they already established that they were building a “high speed “ rail and Amtrak hub at the old fairgrounds?

In the meantime in backwoods Florida you can take the newly established Brightline from Miami to Orlando with speeds up to 130mph at a distance of over 200 miles and not only that and wait for it … you can also ride Amtrak and do the same thing so not only one option but two.

Bunch of alligator etin rednecks figured out how to git er done.

Its not that they cannot figure it out,it’s they just do not want to and it is your position to hush up and sit down,they will do something when they are good and ready because they do not answer to you.

Even though they are your elective representatives and you are the boss,just hush up and pay your taxes without representation because they know what’s best for you.

So instead of just saying no it is not going to happen,they are appeasing by using fancy words like nascent.
