Amtrak (tel: 1 800 872 7245/USA RAIL; website: www.amtrak.com) operates decent inter-city rail services from Detroit Amtrak Station, 11 Baltimore Avenue West, which is located towards the northern end of the city's Downtown. Facilities are basic but include telephones, toilets and car hire.

Rail services: Detroit is directly connected with Cleveland and Chicago (journey time - 7 hours). Other cities, such as Washington, New York and Los Angeles are accessible via Chicago and Cleveland, although the considerable journey time limits the practicality of such a journey.
