Greenfield Village station

Description

Greenfield Village is a former conditional Amtrak station in Dearborn, Michigan, served by the Wolverine. It was a stop for the Henry Ford Museum and was only used for reserved tour groups of 20 or more people, thus making it one of Amtrak's least-busy stations. Prior to 2006, the station was a regular, but seasonal stop (summer only).Greenfield Village has a single platform, a pedestrian crosswalk, and no station house. However, the pedestrian crosswalk leads to the historic 1858-built Smiths Creek Depot, which serves the parallel Weiser Railroad on the museum grounds. Smiths Creek Depot was built in Smiths Creek, Michigan in 1858 by the Chicago, Detroit and Canada Grand Trunk Junction Rail Road Company, along a line that wasn't finished until 1859, and was acquired by the Grand Trunk and Western Railroad in 1928. The station house was moved to Dearborn a year later.A new $28 million station was constructed which combined the Greenfield Village and Dearborn stations. Construction began in early 2012.The new 16,000-square-foot John D. Dingell Transit Center was officially opened for service on 10 December, 2014, and consolidates the old Dearborn station and the Greenfield Village station.
