Английская Википедия:Detroit, Monroe and Toledo Railroad
The Detroit, Monroe and Toledo Railroad (DM&T) was a shortline railroad which operated in the U.S. states of Michigan and Ohio. Opened in 1856, its main line ran from Detroit, Michigan, to Toledo, Ohio. The railroad leased itself to the Michigan Southern and Northern Indiana Railroad (MS&NI) in 1856. A 1914 merger which created the New York Central Railroad led to the DM&T's consolidation into the new road, ending its existence.
Founding and charter
On March 3, 1851, the state of Ohio granted a charter to the Michigan Southern and Northern Indiana Railroad (MS&NI), allowing it to build a rail line, in part, from Toledo, Ohio, to the Ohio-Michigan border.Шаблон:Sfn
The Detroit, Monroe and Toledo Railroad was incorporated in the state of Michigan on April 26, 1855,Шаблон:Sfn with headquarters in Detroit.Шаблон:Sfn The charter allowed for a line originating in Detroit, Michigan, passing roughly along the shoreline of Lake Erie to the small town of Monroe on the Ohio-Michigan border. The DM&T obtained from the MS&NI the right to continue the line from the Michigan border to Toledo.Шаблон:Sfn
By the end of June 1856, the DM&T had constructed Шаблон:Convert of track from Detroit south to the Michigan state line.

On February 11, 1869, the MS&NI and the Lake Shore Railway merged to form the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway (LS&MS).Шаблон:Sfn
The New York Central and Hudson River Railroad acquired a controlling majority of the LS&MS in 1877.Шаблон:Sfn On April 29, 1914, the asset restructuring and refinancing of the New York Central led to the abolishment of all subsidiary corporations and their consolidation into the new New York Central Railroad.Шаблон:Sfn The DM&T merged into the New York Central effective January 1, 1915.Шаблон:Sfn
Current tracks
The DM&T tracks still exist. They constitute the southbound track of the Detroit Line of the Norfolk Southern Railway.
