===Railroads=== {{See also|Flint station (Michigan)}} [[Amtrak]] provides intercity passenger rail service on the ''[[Michigan Services|Blue Water]]'' line from Chicago to [[Port Huron, Michigan|Port Huron]] at the border to Canada. The Amtrak station is located on [[M-54 (Michigan highway)|Dort Highway]], just north of I-69. The station was built in 1989 and replaced an earlier [[Grand Trunk Western Railroad]] (GTW) station closer to downtown. [[Canadian National Railway]] (GTW's successor) and [[Lake State Railway]] provide freight service to Flint, with CN operating from Bristol Yard on the western side of the city and LSRC operating from the former [[CSX Transportation]] McGrew Yard to the north. While CSX ceded control of their former [[CSX Saginaw Subdivision|Saginaw Subdivision]] north of [[Plymouth, Michigan|Plymouth]] to LSRC in 2019, they continue to operate trackage rights trains over CN from Flint to Port Huron several times per week as of 2020.<ref>[http://trn.trains.com/news/news-wire/2019/02/26-lake-state-railway-to-lease-53-miles-of-csx-track-in-michigan Lake State Railway to lease 53 miles of CSX track in Michigan] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200603200125/https://trn.trains.com/news/news-wire/2019/02/26-lake-state-railway-to-lease-53-miles-of-csx-track-in-michigan |date=June 3, 2020 }} ''Trains'', February 26, 2019</ref> Into the late 1940s, the [[Pere Marquette Railway]] operated daily passenger trains through a separate station {{frac|1|1|4}} miles away, with trains heading north to [[Saginaw]] and [[Bay City, Michigan|Bay City]] and south to [[Detroit]]'s [[Fort Street Union Depot]].<ref>''Official Guide of the Railways,'' May 1946, Pere Marquette section; p.1331</ref>
