Henry Ford's DT&I Railroad (1920 - 1929)

In joy watching good history. I bet Henry Ford was a hard man to work for.

In his autobiography. He said whatever your background whether it's Jail, college or university. You have up to 9 days to learn your task. We all start the same. College and university should fare well and if your dont learn after 9 days. There will never be a job for you. I guess he was a pretty serious man, but you have to be at that level.

Great video of the railroad and the JISCO furnace. I remember when it was in operation in the mid sixties and it was a busy place. The car shops in Jackson brought back memories too. Well done, thanks!

Real nice footage, thanks for sharing! Some maps would be helpful.

Great video. Everything looks clean back then.

Can you do the DT&I during the Gulash years or in the 50's I really would like to know the layout of the Flat Rock classification yard in the 50's. Very nice!
