Train depot comes alive for Halloween

Michigan Central Depot is being turned into the setting for a family-friendly Halloween  event for 800 residents in surrounding neighborhoods.

The automaker distributed the 800 tickets to the Wednesday party for residents of the Corktown and Hubbard-Richard neighborhoods. Some Ford employees affiliated with the redevelopment project at the long-vacant train station or the autonomous and electric vehicle teams already working in Corktown got tickets, too.

All tickets have already been given out, but the public can trick-or-treat outside the building on Wednesday evening.

Visitors without tickets will be able to visit a spooky graveyard in the front lawn, and watch a light show on the exterior of the station.
