Electrified Failure

CN 5369 on MoPac heritage rolls South towards Flat Rock yard, passing a intermediate of DT&I or GTW heritage. In the 1920's when Henry Ford purchased the DT&I his grand plan was to electrify the entire line South to interchange with the Virginian's electrified lines. Wrong voltages would prove this to be unsuccessful and the line was only electrified to Flat Rock. Today about half of the cement catenary's still remain from the once busy mainline.
