|} SEMCOG Commuter Rail (also known as MiTrain) is a planned regional rail link along Amtrak's ''Wolverine'' route between the cities of Ann Arbor and Detroit, Michigan—a total length of —with stops at new or existing stations in Ann Arbor, Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, Ypsilanti, Dearborn, and New Center (Detroit). The project would connect with a proposed Detroit bus rapid transit service and the under-construction M-1 Rail system. SEMCOG would lease the rail cars from the Great Lakes Central Railroad.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 accessdate=December 16, 2009 )〕 ==History== Detroit previously had commuter rail service. Until 1983, SEMTA operated Grand Trunk Western Railroad's former service between downtown Detroit, and Pontiac, Michigan. Amtrak continued Penn Central Detroit–Ann Arbor commuter service as the ''Michigan Executive'' until 1984. In May 2009 SEMCOG commissioned a $200,000 study to determine whether commuter trains could operate along the same corridor as Amtrak intercity passenger trains and freight trains. limited service for special events in Detroit was scheduled to begin in early 2013, while regular commuter service was scheduled for 2014, after further track upgrades are completed.〔 no operating funds had been identified and service was at least two years out.〔(Regional Transit: Where Does Ann Arbor Fit? )〕 From November 12 to 14, 2012, testing of the railcar fleet by an Amtrak GE Dash 8-32BWH locomotive took place between Pontiac and Jackson; while service will only initially operate between Ann Arbor and Detroit, testing the fleet on additional trackage eases the process required for future expansion to Jackson and Pontiac. The locomotives have not yet been tested. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SEMCOG Commuter Rail」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
