A passenger rail connecting Detroit and Toronto is up for discussion in the future.

According to Curbed Detroit, Amtrak presented a plan and grant request to Congress for fiscal year 2020 that including a line item labeled, "restoration of the Detroit-Toronto Service." As for funding, the report listed it as "TBD."

Amtrak's annual report submitted to Congress did not include a construction timeline.

“Amtrak is exploring places it can modernize and expand its services and network,” Amtrak Spokesman Marc Magliari told Curbed Detroit. “A Chicago/Western Michigan–Detroit–Toronto corridor is one of the services where we see promise.”

Currently, there is a tunnel bus service that connects downtown Detroit to Windsor and then VIA rail to Toronto.

According to Curbed Detroit, in 2015, Congress allocated $1.8 billion for Amtrak through 2020.

At one time, trains to Toronto, Detroit, and New York City ran through a 1907 train tunnel located about a mile west of the Detroit-Windsor car tunnel.

Rail service between Detroit and Toronto ended in the late 1960s passenger service in the late 1960s, prior to the establishment of Amtrak.

Amtrak was not established until 1971.

The last Detroit-New York train last ran in 1979.
