Timetable: Detroit & Toledo Shore Line Railroad - Main Line - West Detroit to Toledo

The D&TSL was known as a bridge route between Toledo and Detroit/Port Huron for owners GTW and Nickel Plate. During its formidle years, this was a double track main line between West Detroit and Lang (except for short sections through Delray and south of Lang). It was changed to mostly single track after sole ownership by the CN during the 1990's.
