John D Dingell Transit Center

Excellent rail station with plenty of seating in the waiting lounge, and a Tim Horton’s Café just steps away. The facilities are clean and new, and well designed. There is a free wifi signal in the transit center and there are a few newspapers and magazines provided to pass the time as well. Train arrival and departure information is readily available on wall display screens, and tourist attraction information and pamphlets are in abundance on a stand near the entryway from the parking lot.
In addition to the rail service, the Dingell Transit Center also has shelters for the city buses which stop there. The parking lot is sizable and parking is free, and includes a few electric car charging stations.
From this location, it is a short walk to many very good eateries and shops. The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village history attractions are directly across the tracks. Also nearby are the University of Michigan — Dearborn campus, the Henry Ford Community College campus, and the Fairlane Town Center shopping mall. Just a little further east from the mall, is the Ford Motor Company World Headquarters.
From this station, trains run westbound toward Chicago (3 per day) departing in the early morning, midday, and late afternoon. These stop in a few cities such as Ann Arbor, Jackson, and Kalamazoo, among others, on their way toward the final destination, Chicago. The three daily trains running in the other direction (arriving from Chicago, Ann Arbor, etc.) go on to Detroit and then turn north stopping in three of Detroit’s northern suburbs, Royal Oak, Troy, and Pontiac, which is also the end of the line.
The trains I have ridden have been comfortable and not at all crowded. The conductors have been polite and helpful.

I feel like the train has to go more places for this to qualify for 5 stars.
But a charming building, ample parking, and convenient location. The Ann Arbor station is technically a bit closer to my house, but I’m glad I didn’t try to park there. A free parking place in Ann Arbor is the sort of magical unicorn you don’t want to gamble on when you’re traveling. Better to leave out of Dearborn — they have plenty of room.

The new Amtrak Dearborn Station is now known as John D Dingell Transit Center. The new station is so awesome with free wifi, clean and bright waiting room, with flat screen schedules. It also has a model of an old train and many pamphlets available for you to plan next trip. I love the new station!
