Detroit, Toledo and Ironton Railroad Passenger Depot, Detroit, Michigan, 1923
Add to SetSummary
This photo illustrates transportation's changing face as a Model T waits for a passenger train. The train, consisting of a baggage and express car and a single coach, probably provided local service, stopping at every station along the way to handle passengers and packages. Local trains were the first to be eliminated as passengers turned to automobiles for short trips.
