Layout Expansion | Grand Trunk Western | Shore Line Sub | Detroit High Line | HO Model Railroad

Описание: Detroit Terminal Railroad Layout Expansion: Grand Trunk Western / Canadian National Shore Line Subdivision along Detroit's elevated "High Line". New (non) rail-served industries and crossings included U.S. Auto Supply, Motor City Pallets, Commercial Moving & Storage, Vinewood Street and John C. Lodge Service Drive.

This video features construction underway on the GTW Shore Line Subdivision or "High Line" passing through Detroit, and paralleling Norfolk Southern's Detroit Line. Eventually the Shore Line Subdivision will connect with the Mt. Clemens Subdivision at Milwaukee Junction, and will interchange with Conrail's Detroit Shared Assets Area via a mid layout portal representing GTW's Forest Lawn Junction.

Shore Line Subdivision: The line was originally built as the Detroit and Toledo Shore Line Railroad (D&TSL). It served as a bridge line for joint owners NKP and GTW until N&W sold its half to GTW in 1981. From that time forward the Shore Line Sub has been lengthened to include territory that was once part of the Wabash Rwy from Rouge Bridge to West Detroit, as well as territory that was part of the GTW Mount Clemens Subdivision
