Many of us have not only been aware but experienced its abandoned state for decades. Amtrak failed it, govt failed this building. Ford is the savior to this historic edifice. They are doing an impressive renovation. It will accommodate trains in the future, but this is no Chicago union station as a hub of national rail service. It would be unused and neglected if the primary use was trains. And I’m someone who only takes the train to Detroit and would benefit from that. Everyone knows the best use of the station and surrounding buildings is commercial.
