===Rail===
[[Amtrak]] operates passenger service with its [[Michigan Services|Wolverine]] from Pontiac to Chicago via Detroit and [[Battle Creek, Michigan]]. Service is three times daily, both arriving and departing.

[[SEMTA Commuter Rail|Commuter rail service]] was once provided by [[Grand Trunk Western Railroad]] (GTW) and later Southeastern Michigan Transportation Authority (SEMTA) from Pontiac to downtown Detroit. This service ended on October 17, 1983, after subsidies were discontinued. Efforts continue to restore such commuter service.

Class one freight rail service is provided by Grand Trunk Western Railroad (GTW), which also operates a large [[classification yard]] in Pontiac serving the local auto industry. The Grand Trunk Western Railroad (reporting mark GTW) is an important subsidiary of the Canadian National Railway (CN). It constitutes the majority of CN's Chicago Division (which is part of CN's Southern Region).
