Timetable: Pere Marquette - West Detroit Branch - Oak to West Detroit

This was the original PM main line into Detroit. The PM ended at West Detroit and used the MC into Third Street Station. When the PM built the new cutoff via Rougemere to Fort Street Union Station, this line became an industrial branch line serving industry on the west side of Detroit.

In 1944, the West Detroit branch trains were limited to 15 mph.
