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.

The newly opened Gandy Dancer restaurant has followed the owner's previous philosophy of "unique settings" for restaurant operations. Two of the old benches used in the waiting room by Penn Central Railroad customers remain in the main dining room. The solid brass light fixtures were brought in from the closed portion of the Penn Central station in Detroit. The 24-foot-high ceiling still contains the inlaid solid oak floor, which, of course, now has been refinished.
