Lest our youngsters around here be unaware, The Funk also had there own station. Also earlier noted, Brush Street was located immediately to the North of Renaissance Center and survived until the GTW commuter service folded with the defunding of its sponsoring agency.
Finally, I continue to throw caution to the Ford statements that the existing MCS tracks will remain. But best be sure you can "cover bets" after the construction is complete. The tracks are likely the best way to move construction material to the site, but I'm not about to lay my $$ down for anything beyond that.
