Would be great to go to A2 or Traverse City for the day without driving.

1. It's a nice dream, but I've heard such for 20+ years--and nothing ever comes of it

2. The details will be interesting, and will likely kill the project

Details: with the stops, how long will the train take to get from A2 to TC? And what's the price of a ticket? And what transportation options are at the other end?

If two or three people are in the car, it may be cheaper to drive, and may be just as fast if you count the time spent making it through the station and waiting for the train to board and leave.

Plus, how many passengers will there be, on an average Monday thru Thursday? Enough to pay for the train's operation?

This sounds like an boondoggle.

4. Two or three would be cheaper

I traveled in Europe last summer and stops were very quick.

3. I would travel by train anytime rather than drive. The US passenger rail system is a disgrace.

Look at rail service in Japan and most of Europe, they know how to run a railroad.
