The Detroit, Toledo & Ironton's Delta turn heads southbound from Flat Rock Yard, enroute to Delta, Ohio, and interchange with the Wabash and New York Central Railroads.  As part of Henry Ford's massive restructuring of the DT&I, a long graded overpass was built over the two roads at Delta, with an interchange yard in-between.  Ford Motor used the DT&I as a long "terminal railroad" for incoming and outgoing loads to the Rouge complex.  This photo was taken on November 6, 1955 near the M-24 overpass.
