Product Details & Size Guide
GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Bring a little regional railroad history to your next round with golf balls inspired by the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton Railroad. The DT&I connected Detroit, Toledo and Ironton, carrying a story that includes its early formation, Henry Ford’s investment and later years under changing ownership. Its history reflects the close ties between transportation, industry and communities in Michigan and Ohio. A distinctive choice for golfers who follow railroad heritage, collect railway memorabilia or enjoy sharing the story of a historic American line.
The Detroit, Toledo and Ironton Railroad traced its origins to the 1901 merger of the Detroit and Lima Northern Railway and the Ohio Southern Railway, which formed the Detroit Southern Railroad. Purchased at foreclosure in 1905, it was reorganized as the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton Railway; the name changed to Detroit, Toledo and Ironton Railroad in 1914. The company went bankrupt in 1908 and was purchased by Henry Ford in 1920. Ford valued its connection from Dearborn, Michigan, to major east-west rail lines and invested in track, equipment and electrification near Detroit. He sold it in 1929 to a Pennsylvania Railroad subsidiary. The DT&I remained an independent subsidiary until 1970, despite its parent’s 1968 merger with the New York Central to form Penn Central. Private investors bought the railroad after Penn Central’s bankruptcy. The Grand Trunk Western acquired it in 1980, and in December 1983 the DT&I was fully assimilated into the GTW. Service on southern portions ended in stages, while parts of the northern and central routes later passed to the Indiana and Ohio Railway. The railroad connected Detroit, Toledo and Ironton, with other listed communities along its route in Michigan and Ohio.
