"C" indicates where most service involved connections over the same railroad. Where direct service did not exist, "via" indicates the best connecting cities.
Present - Indicates former railroad routes currently used by Amtrak. Parentheses indicate potential corridors served strictly by long distance trains, often not conveniently scheduled for corridor services. In addition, a bus connection is mentioned between Detroit and Toledo.
