Greenfield roundhouse resident
The Henry Ford and Greenfield Village celebrate America’s railroad heritage with a working steam railway that takes visitors around the perimeter of the site. The locomotive roster is maintained in a reconstructed roundhouse of the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railroad. The DT&I conveyed coal from his mines to Henry Ford’s Detroit car plants. A star exhibit is DT&I #45, a loco that Ford personally acquired for preservation after it was retired in the late 1920s. Dating from 1902, it is an ALCO-built 4-4-2 that originally hauled high-speed express trains on the Michigan Central main line.
