The first stop once inside was the lower level.  This level includes the Passenger Tunnel leading to the train platforms, parking garage and passenger train employee offices. 

 

This is one of at least 100 support beams that held up the train tracks, sheds, platforms and trains.  These are rusty but appear to still be very structurally sound.  These still support the many Canadian Pacific trains that travel from Canada to Detroit daily via the tunnel under the Detroit River.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is an office we found which as it states was for Engineers only.  There was not much in the office but piles of junk and rubble so I am not sure how it was arranged when in use.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the office next to the Engineers we found what we think is a gasoline powered baggage cart puller.  That's my brother inspecting the engine and stating it was a 4 cylinder model.  We are guessing it was used from the 1960's till 1988 when the station was closed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the other side of the room from the Powered Cart puller was a table on which this old calculator resided in amongst some rubble.  Along the wall to the right of the calculator was a partially knocked over cabinet full of spare parts, see photo below, we presume were for fixing locomotives, passenger cars and the like when needed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is one of many stairways that led up to the train platforms.  The passengers did not have to worry about navigating the tracks from above.  They used a tunnel that had stairways like this one that led to each platform and track.  As you can see in the photo this was once a very ornate area, now blackened with age.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We took this tunnel towards the station proper and took a flight of stairs to the main level!  Click here to continue on to the main level!
