Well to qoute Prof. Hubert J. Farnsworth, Good news everyone! This is actully the first I've herd of the Ann Arbor-Detroit line, although I think they would get more riders if the trip was under the 50 min mark since I belive that's what the drive time is.

Three locomotives and nine passenger cars have been leased from Great Lakes Central Railroad, which is owned by Farmington Hills-based Federated Capital Corp., and are in the process of being refurbished and painted, Palombo said.

Hmm, that's interesting. Speaking from a railfans point of view, I'm guessing that the loco's will be either Geeps or SD-40s.

The lease and refurbishment work is about $2 million. The livery will be green, yellow and blue, and trains will be a locomotive with two cars.

Green, Yellow, Blue huh? Not sure how well those colors will mesh, I think it would make more sense to do yellow and blue, since the line does originate in Ann Arbor
