Detroit & Toledo Shore Line received this batch of cars from Greenville
early in 1970. The D&TS was just 50 miles long linking Detroit with Toledo but
was double tracked and handled a large volume of traffic. Grand Trunk
Western and Norfolk & Western (formerly Nickel Plate) each owned a 50% interest in
the line. N&W used it to reach Detroit and GTW used it to reach Toledo.
It’s position gave it a vital role in the movement of auto parts. In 1981, GTW
bought N&W’s share and merged the line into its system. These cars joined
the GTW fleet, some remaining in this paint scheme for close to two decades.
This roadname will be available in 3 road numbers. 87121 Detroit & Toledo
Shore Line single; 87122 2-Pack.
