Port Huron and Detroit Railroad : ウィキペディア英語版 | Port Huron and Detroit Railroad Port Huron & Detroit Railroad Company was incorporated on September 1, 1917 in the State of Michigan, United States of America, to own and operate 14 miles of railroad track along the Saint Clair River from Port Huron, Michigan to Marine City, Michigan. It remained in business until it was sold to the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad (then part of Chessie System) in December, 1984. Most of its original trackage is still being operated today by CSX Transportation Co. with whom Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad merged into on September 2, 1987. ==History== In 1901, the predecessor railroad to the Port Huron & Detroit Railroad, the Port Huron & Southern Railroad Company, was formed to own 3 miles of trackage from Port Huron, Michigan south to Marysville, Michigan to serve a salt plant located there. Plans to extend this line south approximately 60 miles to Detroit, MI resulted in the creation of the Port Huron & Detroit Railroad in 1917. Expansion of the railroad south through St. Clair and terminating at Marine City, 19.1 miles from Port Huron, was completed in 1918. The Port Huron & Detroit Railroad went into receivership in 1922 where it was purchased by James E. Duffy (1902-1981), whose family owned and operated the Port Huron & Detroit Railroad until it was sold to Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad in 1984.〔Schramm, Jack E. and Henning, William H., ''When Eastern Michigan Rode the Rails Book 2,'' Interurban Press, Special 105, 1986, page 175〕
