Prior to the affiliation with the C&O, the B&O passenger trains between Cincinnati and Detroit (Cincinnatian) and Baltimore / Washington and Detroit (Ambassador) utilized the NYC between Toledo and Detroit. After the affiliation with the C&O, there was a onece-a-week RDC round-trip Deshler / Detroit via the NYC to keep the trackage rights in effect.
Does anyone know if the train and engine crews between Toledo and Detroit were B&O employees or NYC employees?
Also, did the B&O operate any freight service to Detroit, and -- if so --
what yard facilities did they use in Detroit?
Thanks in advance.
