The Detroit Connecting Railroad (DCON) is a 2.5-mile-long Class III operation that is owned by the Adrian Blissfield Railroad Company. It serves Detroit's Eastern Market and the Milwaukee Junction District. It serves as a crucial link, interchanging with Canadian National for seamless transportation for its customers. The services provided by the shortline include transload capabilities, allowing for the efficient transfer of goods from truck to rail and vice versa. Additionally, there is a team track available for various operations. Railcar storage is also offered to accommodate the needs of businesses. Moreover, the Detroit Connecting Railroad provides convenient access to major highways such as I-75, I-94, and downtown Detroit, enabling convenient transportation connections for transload customers. • The railroad uses a GE 44-Tonner and an SW900 to pull and switch cars on the industrial spur. No. 836 was built in November of 1953 for the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific which it served for 27 years. It was later acquired by Checker Motors as their No. 1. If you're not familiar, Checker was known as the manufacturer of the iconic Taxi Cab for just shy of 90 years. In 2007, the ADBF acquired the No. 1 and repainted the butthead switcher into CN passenger colors with New York Central style lettering and stripes. It has served on the DCON for 14 years and still looks great - even though the paint is beginning to fade. Time will tell if this little engine will be repainted into the A B's new paint scheme... a livery that has been affectionately nicknamed the Quality Dairy Scheme after a local convenience store chain around Lansing. • Contribute via CashApp: https://cash.app/$DelayInBlockMedia • Contribute via PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/DelayInBlockMedia • Contribute via Patreon: / delayinblockmedia • Start investing in railroads and get a free stock: https://Bit.ly/DelayInBlockInvesting • Subscribers: help support us by crowdfunding our videos through Patreon, PayPal, or CashApp. With your support, we can continue to produce high-quality railroad media for you to enjoy.
