Metro Detroiter plans energy-efficient railway

Sutton, 36, is founder and chairman of the Interstate Traveler Corp., which operates out of an old marina office in downtown Whitmore Lake. The company has developed designs for an elevated light-rail-type mass-transit system that runs on hydrogen and solar power. Solar panels would line the track and supports.
