Bring a distinctive regional railroad story into your everyday wardrobe with this Detroit and Toledo Shore Line Railroad Men's Sport Polo Shirt. The Shore Line opened freight service between Detroit and Toledo in 1903, after its beginnings as an electric interurban proposal. Its route connected communities across southeastern Michigan and northwestern Ohio, while its ownership history linked it with major railroads of the region. For railfans and history-minded supporters, this polo celebrates the line's independent identity and enduring place in Great Lakes rail history.
The Detroit and Toledo Shore Line Railroad grew from two companies: the Toledo and Ottawa Beach Railway, incorporated in Ohio in January 1898, and Michigan’s Pleasant Bay Railway, incorporated in March 1898. Pleasant Bay purchased the Ohio company in March 1899, and the combined enterprise took the Detroit and Toledo Shore Line name the following month. Conceived as an electric interurban link, it became a freight railroad instead. The line between Detroit, Michigan, and Toledo, Ohio, opened for freight traffic in September 1903. Grand Trunk Western and the Toledo, St. Louis and Western Railroad jointly owned it from 1902; the latter’s interest passed to its successor, the New York, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad, in 1923. That interest later passed to Norfolk and Western in 1964. The Shore Line introduced diesel locomotives in 1950, and its final steam locomotive ran in 1952. Grand Trunk Western bought Norfolk and Western’s interest in 1981, when the Shore Line was dissolved and merged into Grand Trunk Western. Much of the former main line continues as the CN/GTW Shore Line Subdivision.
