Timetable: DT&I Railroad - Tecumseh Branch - Malinta to Tecumseh

This branch was the original main line for the DT&I railroad north to Detroit. From Tecumseh to Dundee, the railroad used the Detroit, Toledo & Milwaukee (NYC) line using trackage rights. When the railroad built the Malinta cut-off in the 1930's, the trackage rights were no longer used and the route became the Tecumseh branch of the DT&I.
