Unlike the CN former GTW route west of Battle Creek, Amtrak passenger service exists over this segment, sponsored in part by the state of Michigan. These trains operate over the more traditional Michigan Central route west of Battle Creek, now Norfolk Southern. Within Battle Creek, both former railroads actually have been using the GTW routing since 1982. At that time, the former Michigan Central route was abandoned, eliminating numerous grade crossings.
Between Mundy and Belsay, line was originally more centrally located through Flint. In 1902, a more direct bypass line was constructed south of Flint. In 1928, passenger trains began using the new line, stopping at a new station. Original line became known as the Old Main Line, and was downgraded with segments abandoned.
