Michigan Central Station
Detroit's most dramatic ruin faces an uncertain future.

What should become of the elegant Michigan Central Railroad Station? Technically known as Michigan Central Depot, it now stands in its 20th year of abandonment and has been severely damage by scavengers and the elements. Owned by multi-millionaire Ambassador Bridge owner Manny Moroun, it remains a puzzle and hindrance to the nearby rising Corktown community.
