You can also call 1-800-USA-RAIL for Train Status.

Good spots to watch the train include the Dearborn Amtrak Station, although the platform is now only supposed to be accessed by Ticketed passengers and those meeting people on the train.. letting them know why you are there couldn't hurt.

Grade Crossings include Mason and Monroe Streets in downtown Dearborn. These are metered parking spots, see Map:

Hope this helps,

That has always been a Amtrak rule I believe, nothing really new(right?) Generally all the stations I have been to no one cares at all. I think this rule generally applies to their main stations and not smalls local stations like Dearborn.

Don't forget the Dearborn station is City of Dearborn property. Station built by the City. I have never had a problem there but usually stay at far ends of platform.
