A recent press release (which seems semi-official) calls this the Michigan District. That's currently a disambiguation page but one of the links is a redirect. A good location might be Michigan District (railway line). Mackensen (talk) 00:18, 15 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

The article mentions the installation of PTC on the line between Porter and Kalamazoo. With MDOT's purchase of most the rest of the line, has PTC been installed on this section of the line, too? If not, is it planned or scheduled to be? --Criticalthinker (talk) 13:36, 18 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

I'd like to propose that we talk about the Michigan Line in its entirety, and have a section speaking about the Michigan Line Conrail SAA, which is the Michigan line east of CP-Townline in Dearborn to CP-Bay City Junction just east of West Detroit. What does everyone else think? I could add the information if this is agreed to. Since Amtrak uses the Conrail section, too, it only makes sense. As it reads now, an outside might think Amtrak operations end in Dearborn. --Criticalthinker (talk) 19:06, 10 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

• This article is about physical infrastructure, not a service, and I think the lead makes that clear. I don't think it makes sense to mix coverage of a separate line. It's not at all clear this article is even at the correct title (see above about the Michigan District). Mackensen (talk) 04:17, 11 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • I'm not talking about a service. In fact, since we're talking a physical rail, it makes even more sense to include them since the rail doesn't just end and then restart as a Conrail rail. The only difference is legal ownership. It'd be different if we were talking about two physically seperate rails, but this isn't even that. --Criticalthinker (talk) 20:34, 11 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
    • Off the top of my head I can't think of another article where physical railway lines owned by separate companies are covered in the same article. If this were an article of the ex-Michigan Central main line then that might make sense, but I'm not sure the sources exist to write it. Mackensen (talk) 00:52, 12 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

I was updating the template for this article and saw that the mile markers are quite messed up. Can anyone help? Thanks! –Daybeers (talk) 03:39, 1 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
