Default When Henry Ford Owned a Railroad

-and what a fascinating story of when he owned the Detroit Toledo and Ironton RR, with immaculate yards and equipment, high wages (but lots of hard work), locomotive wheels painted with white sidewalls, constant technical experimentation, etc.

Do any of the members live in western/southern Ohio or Southern Michigan and been in a position to see what's left of the trackage or physical plant, bridges, culverts, etc.?
