Fire At First Michigan Central Station

The first train arrived on December 26, 1913, and the last train left on January 5, 1988. The original train station had been consumed by fire so the MCS was hurriedly put into operation before the finishing touches were done.

Since then the building has remained unfinished, because it was too busy functioning until after World War II, and after that it didn’t make enough profit to cover expenses.
