A look inside the abandoned Michigan Central Train Station

            Using my 12x zoom, here's a peek inside the train station that was built in 1912 ( opened in 1913 )  and abandoned in 1988. I didn't realize it at the time, but Homeland Security had 2 white hummers and 2 civilian vehicles ( 1 a light green Saturn ) follow me around as I took pictures of this building from outside the fence. I later had a quick chat with them. Nice guys.
