DT&M / D&LN /DT&I
Posted: Wed Dec 13, 2023 12:36 am
I was reading some information today about the railroads in Tecumseh and then was in Dundee this afternoon / evening for work.
I know the DT&M originally ran from Dundee through Tecumseh and up to Allegan and Holland.
I know eastern end of the railroad saw the D&LN use tracakge rights over DT&M from Tecumseh east. This was abandoned when the DT&I built the Malinta Cutoff.
How exactly did the DT&M end in Dundee? The maps I've seen show it simply curving down to the Ann Arbor line (the tracks CleanTech currently uses), with a line curving south of the current Dundee High School and terminating just north of M-50.
Trains running on the D&LN went as far as Delray. How did they get from the DT&M onto the tracks heading into Detroit? Did they run down the Ann Arbor to Diann, or was there an extension to the east from the Ann Arbor. Was there ever a wye in the NE quadrant at Diann if those trains utilized trackage rights over the Ann Arbor?
