Talk:Battle Creek Transportation Center

message: I Added a picture of the Battle Creek station. Hopefully its suitable.
It's a hard station to photograph due to it's location. It's an unmarked building, it share the train station with a bus terminal as well. The busses are in the front and the trains run through the back and I wanted to at least include the tracks. --Dp67 | QSO | Sandboxes 01:30, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: If I get the chance I'll see what I can do about getting some pictures of the "Original" Battle Creek Station for a "History" chapter. Its by far a better looking building than this generic looking Multi-Purpose building. The Original is a few blocks from this one. (It's a restaurant now..) I'm not sure if they moved the tracks or moved the building, I just moved here so I don't know the history of the area too well.  --Dp67 | QSO | Sandboxes 00:25, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

text: There are 2 lines that run through Battle Creek. One is the GT the other is primarily Amtrak. Not sure who owns that line. It just sold recently. The two merge just before the station. (The one pictured) What I *think* they did was in order to minimize congestion they merged the two lines to make one set of 2 tracks running through the center of town instead of two sets of 2. Thus leaving the original Battle Creek station behind so a new one was built. Further out of town the two lines split again. This is of course a guess, I'm going to look into it. More content for the History chapter of the station I guess.. lol  --Dp67 | QSO | Sandboxes 02:02, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Picture Added 

message: This [Clara's on The River] is in fact the old Battle Creek train station and the building is on the historical register. I'm going to get as much info I can on it for a historical standpoint to expand this article. And yes, I do believe they moved the tracks. I haven't seen any historical maps of the city to confirm anything so I'm going on what I'm told. So they say, they merged the Michigan Central Railroad onto the Grand Trunk Western through town and once out of town the two lines split again. That's all I know so far. Apparently the restaurant people are train buffs so hopefully they'll cooperate in this project and offer as much info as they can without expecting any advertising. We'll see. I'm no photo-expert so maybe they'll let me use some stock photos for the article. That's it so far..  --Dp67 | QSO | Sandbox | UBX's 09:11, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I just checked Google Maps and it confirms the lines have been merged and the old line ran right along side of where the restaurant is and they're not there now. --Dp67 | QSO | Sandbox | UBX's 09:22, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: From what I've read on the web, the MCR & GT stations are both historic landmarks completley separate from the current Amtrak station, even if the lines are the same.  ----DanTD 20:45, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
