Diann Interlocking as it looked in July, 1987. This interlocking controlled the crossing of the Ann Arbor Railroad and the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton. It was built in the 1920's during Henry Ford's ownership of the DT&I. It was one of the last interlocking towers built in Michigan. [Charlie Whipp collection.] |
Diann was staffed by DT&I operators. The telegraph symbol for Diann was "XN". Telegraph symbols were used to abbreviate the name of a station during telegraph messages to reduce transmission time. [CW]
