(Above) A
blueprint of the Ford Jct. interlocking c. 1920's. The route
north-south (side to side) is the double-tracked Grand Trunk Western,
from Detroit to Pontiac. The east-west (up to down) double track
line is the Detroit Terminal, between North Yard and Dearborn.
The lead off the Detroit Terminal (upper left) goes into the Ford
Motor Company Highland Park Assembly plant. The tower for the
interlocker is in the northeast quadrant of the crossing. [Dale
Berry photo from the Interlocker files at the State of Michigan
Archives]. Below, an overhead view of Ford Interlocking in 2003.
Both lines are now single tracked. [James Agnew] |
