Already mentioned, but the station is a stop for Greenfield Village, a major tourist destination -- not to mention it's combining two existing stations -- and is an intermodal center.
BTW, though Dearborn is, indeed, a major stop in the Detroit area, the actual Detroit stop also has a plan for a new intermodal station near the existing station if they ever get the light rail, commuter rail, and high-speed connection worked out, which wuld probably increase its usage to at least that of Dearborn's.
