GBN gave you the answer:
Through Pullman sleeping car via DL&W>Michigan Central (at Buffalo)
DL&W #5 The Chicago Limited > Michigan Central #17
Departed Scranton at 8 PM arrived Buffalo at 2:05 AM
Pullman car cut and switched to Michigan Central #17
Departed Buffalo at 2:48 AM Arrived Detroit at 7:15 AM
Imagine that! They could switch cars in 43 Min., I don't think AMTRAK can do an engine change at WUS in that time!
There were also at least three connections at Buffalo (change trains) to get one from Scranton to Detroit on the DL&W "back in the day".
