Speaking of Passenger Service

[iis612]

Another interesting terminal for joint operations was Detroit Union Station. It played host to Pere Marquette, C&O, NYC, B&O, PRR, IC, GTW, NKP and a few others. I wish I could quote chapter and verse all of the operations that took place there. I do know that DUS had motive power with it's own reporting marks (even though it was jointly owned by C&O, B&O, NYC and PRR). For a while the head end power was taken off and a hostler ran them down to Rougemere yard for servicing. DUS power took the head end cars a few miles north for for mail and REA servicing.

I have a few friends that have made their entire layout solely based on the DUS. I will see if I can find the pics that I have and share them here.

Edit: It should be noted that Rougemere yard was nearly 15 miles west of DUS
