 The Toledo, Canada Southern and Detroit Railway opened a parallel line, just to the east, in 1873.With the 1930 lease of the Michigan Central Railroad by the New York Central Railroad, both lines were placed under NYC operation.The lines passed to Conrail, and were assigned to Norfolk Southern in Conrail's 1999 breakup; they are now used through a directional running setup, in which southbound trains use the old DM&T and northbound trains use the old TCS&D.
