Cool. :)

Kalamazoo is linked to Ann Arbor via a train station list in this classic film moment:

Library computer won't let me view this, but I took the train between Ann Arbor and Kalamazoo several times when I was a college student.

It was a scene in the film North By Northwest in which Eva Marie Saint is waiting for Cary Grant to emerge from the men's room in the train station in Chicago. She's standing by a row of phone booths. The announcer is calling out train stops for a train that's about to board, and heading east. There's no talk, what with it having the tension and visual storytelling of a silent film (Hitchcock made several of those before his talkies), so we get to hear the whole list.
