Timetable: Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railroad - Main Line - Detroit to Lima

This view of the DT&I main line is after they constructed their Malinta cut off west of Maybee to Malinta 30 miles southwest of the Michigan state line. The cut off removed a number of meandering extra miles as well as slow curves through the City of Adrian. After the cutoff was put in service, the DT&I discontinued using the DT&M east of Tecumseh and the former main line became the Tecumseh Branch. This was a single track main line.

The Detroit & Toledo Shore Line (D&TSL) had trackage rights from Detroit to FN (Trenton).

Time Table

1897. September. Local railroad circles are reported to be agitated over the attempt of the Detroit & Lima Northern to obtain a right of way through the factory district of South Detroit. It is said that the Wabash, Grand Trunk and Flint & Pere Marquette roads are trying to obtain a right of way through the same district for the purpose, as they claim, of making another belt line around the city, and thus saving the switching charges by competing with the Michigan Central's belt line. A conference between magnates of the three roads on this subject is supposed to have taken place during the visit of Sir Charles Rivers-Wilson, president of the Grand Trunk to this city recently, but no details of that conference have so far become public. Some of the leading manufacturers in the district mentioned are said to have been won over to the side of the three roads.

The Detroit & Lima people say that the opposition of the other roads is for the purpose of keeping out a rival that will be formidable to them. They decline to say who is furnishing the money for the extension of their road, but declare that Calvin S. Brice, who was reported as being behind them, is not in the deal. [DFP-1897-0909]
