Urania, a way-point on the Ann Arbor Railroad in York township, doesn't appear on a map and few trains stop there. Its railroad station is small - one room, in fact. There is no station agent and not even a timetable of freight schedules to be had. Nor does Urania's station even have a sign. But at Urania the Ann Arbor's customary single track splits into two, the second a siding on which long strings of freight cars sometimes are halted to unload supplies for Ypsilanti State Hospital, just a short distance to the east. Urania and its one-room unoccupied railroad station are located along Willis Rd. at its intersection with the Ann Arbor Railroad.
