Victoria Jct.
(also known as Ecorse Jct. on the NS), taken from the Fort Street
bridge in 2002. I-75 is overhead in the background. The
track on the left which crosses the double NS main line is the Conrail
Junction Yard branch which goes to Town Line (towards the camera) and
CP-YD (to the upper right). The track on the far right is the
former Pennsylvania Railroad main line. At one time, this joined
the NS main line so that PRR trains could route into the Fort Street
Union Depot, but a connection track was built under Conrail ownership
so that trains could go from the PRR to CP-YD (and ultimately River
Rouge Yard). |
Notes:
- Victoria Avenue Tower communicated on MC Grade
Line No. 4 (l long). Also on this grade line were Miller Road
Yardmaster (2 long, 1 short), Livernois West Bound Hump Yardmaster (4

Tower (3 long, 1 short), YD Tower (1 long, 1 short, also known as
Pleasant Avenue Tower), and Town Line Telegraph Office (1 short, 1 long,
1 short). [MC Detroit Terminal Timetable No. 76]
