Fort Street Union Depot : ウィキペディア英語版 | Fort Street Union Depot
The Fort Street Union Depot was a passenger train station in Detroit, Michigan at the southwest corner of West Fort Street and Third Street in downtown Detroit, it served the city from 1893 to 1971. Today, the downtown campus of Wayne County Community College occupies the site. ==History== The union station began construction in 1891 and opened to the public January 21, 1893. It consolidated the operations and services of several rail companies serving Detroit with the exception of the New York Central Railroad, which used Michigan Central Station, and the Grand Trunk Western Railroad, which used Brush Street Station. Upon its opening, the station was located in a transportation district which included the original Michigan Railroad Central Depot two blocks south, and the Detroit and Cleveland Navigation Company nearby on the Detroit River. The station was extensively renovated in 1946, adding a restaurant, fluorescent lighting, a baggage room, train gates and other updated amenities. Urban renewal in the 1950s saw the construction of Cobo Hall to the south of the station, and the tunneling of the Lodge Freeway beneath the railway tracks. However, due to dwindling ridership, the station closed April 30, 1971, and despite the attempts of preservationists to repurpose the building, was demolished in January 1974.
