These concrete overhead catenary wire supports are all that remain of an ambitious project that electrified the operations of the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railroad between Detroit and Toledo. Henry Ford took control of the line in order to ship raw materials to his factories in Dearborn and finished products out. It was under his leadership that the electrification was done, but it only lasted a decade or so in the 1920s. Still, even after the railroad was sold to the Pennsylvania Railroad, then the Grand Trunk Western, and now Canadian National, and even though only a few trains a day run here and the second main track has been removed, almost 80 years after the project was abandoned, these supports still stand- an industrial monument to times and ambitions gone by.
