Amtrak Wants to Extend the Wolverine Line With Service From Detroit to Toronto
"Amtrak is considering a proposal that would extend the Wolverine line’s rail service from Chicago to Toronto," reports Wood TV 8.
The idea was first pitched in March in a grant request submitted by Amtrak, according to the article.
"The proposal involves extending the route of a Chicago-Detroit Wolverine train through Ontario and into Toronto."
A Michigan Department of Transportation Twitter account published a slide from a presentation by Amtrak at the recent Michigan Rail Conference, showing more details about the proposal.
