Manufacturing Parts for Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railroad at Ford Motor Company Rouge Plant, circa 1926
Add to SetSummary
Ford Motor Company never owned the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railroad -- Henry Ford owned it personally from 1920-1929. Nevertheless, Mr. Ford used many of Ford Motor Company's facilities to service the railroad under his ownership. Shops at the Rouge plant rebuilt many of the DT&I's locomotives and provided materials for buildings and structures along the line.
