It is unclear if the author or copyright holder of that video, while very interesting and pertinent, released the copyright. Is the copyright holder the Sunday Times? Or the original author and producer? It's not clear if either of those released the copyright. --Rkitko 19:07, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I made a small edit to the text, which had implied that the waiting room was completely closed in 1967.  Trains continued to run, although the closing of the main entrance greatly diminished the appeal of the waiting room.  The ticket windows along the main entry were shut; only those facing the baggage room remained open.  I can attest to this because I was the Amtrak ticket clerk who moved the ARTS terminals (for the reservation system) when the main entrance reopened in 1975.

message: Im removing some of these low quality photographs and replacing them with high quality architectural photographs. Ive been searching for better historical photographs of the building but its difficult to come up with anything thats public domain. if anyone in detroit can solve the historic photo mystery this article would greatly benefit from it. there are currently way to many photographs, and not enough historic. the library of congress only has photos of the original MCS building, not the one shown here.

text: Restoring one of the photos. It shows good detail and its acceptable quality. If someone can take a better quality photo from a comparable/better angle to replace it that would be fine. For now, there is no reason to delete the photo.Thomas Paine1776 (talk) 20:47, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I have cleaned up the external links section, as a few links led to news stories that were no longer topical, and there were too many links to image galleries of similar content. Albert duce (talk) 21:53, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

message: We're missing some history here. Amtrak operated out of a trailer just west of the station for a while (a year or so?) after this station closed and before the New Center station opened. Kendall-K1 (talk) 16:09, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

message: The plan for a new freight rail tunnel was cancelled this year, so that part of the "future development" section needs to be rewritten.  In fact, since the station was never a part of any formal plans for this now-cancelled tunnel, I'd really remove that short paragraph entirely.  If no one gets to this in the coming week, I'll do it. --Criticalthinker (talk) 09:47, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

message: Hi, since spring 2016 the Station building has fresh windows and looks much better now. Could anyone provide fresh photos (bathed in sunlight, at best)? Thanks a lot! :) 
PS: The photo seen right doesn't show the full scale of the revitalization. Cheers, Horst-schlaemma (talk) 08:50, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

message: Foyer & waiting room is used in the last scene of 2016's Don't Breathe, presumably as a stand-in for one of Detroit's airports. Guy48065 (talk) 03:54, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

message: With Ford buying the station, I'd suggest putting all of that under "future development" and then giving the former plans - many of which were not nearly as far along in their planning as this got - a mention in a sentence of two.  Just kind of weird to have a "future development" section with all of those dropped proposals when we actually have a solid proposal for re-use, now. --Criticalthinker (talk) 05:41, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

message: Everyone should pay attention to the intensely old architecture and how overly large the arches are in the waiting room compared to a doorway. People of the early 1900 wouldn't have been able to build this. Also, the building looks old even in the supposed original photos. 50.4.223.82 (talk) 03:53, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
