One downtown on NS and a unused station uptown…what route was discontinued?
The “Pere Marquette” between Chicago and Grand Rapids.
New Buffalo and Michigan DOT have applied for federal funding to install a track connection so the Pere Marquette can stop at the downtown New Buffalo station.

The application was unsuccessful in this year’s TIGER grants.

Wait 'til next year, as they say. [:(]
The route was not discontinued, however the Chicago to Grand Rapids train does not stop in there anymore.
