Timetable: MCRR - Delta Track - Delta Switch to Delray Salt Transfer

The MC Delta Track left the Detroit-Toledo branch at Delta Switch, just north of the River Rouge Bridge. It immediately split from Delta Yard and the Solvay Track, heading to the corner where the Rouge River channel and the Detroit River join. Today, the Delray Salt Transfer site would be along the river, across Jefferson from the Detroit Water Department.
