It was on the original [[Territorial Road (Michigan)|Territorial Road]] in Michigan of the 19th century, which started in Detroit and ran to Lake Michigan. Much of that, but not all, later became [[U.S. Route 12 in Michigan|Old US 12]]—the "old" designation came about when I-94 was built parallel to it—and also was called ''Red Arrow Highway'' after a [[World War I]] army division. The name "US 12" was shifted south to what once was US 112 between Detroit and [[New Buffalo, Michigan|New Buffalo]]. Some parts of Old US 12 outside of town, especially in [[Van Buren County, Michigan|Van Buren]] and [[Berrien County, Michigan|Berrien]] counties to the west, are still called Red Arrow Highway. The term "Old US 12" has faded from use. === Rail === {{main|Kalamazoo Transportation Center}} {{See also|Michigan Services}} * Kalamazoo has rail service provided by [[Amtrak]], with the station located downtown and combined with a newly renovated bus terminal.
