D. T. & I. Car repair shops at Jackson
The car shops was started June 1906 that included $28,000 in grants
and land from the city of Jackson. The site along Athens Street had once
been a horse race track. The complex included new heavy repair shops,
transfer table, oil house,, new yard office building and the relocation
of the water tank. The Detroit Southern round house, which sat in
a triangle at Main and Bridge Streets, was closed and a newer larger
facility was included in the program. Over $160,000 was spent on
the program with the first building occupied in August 1908.
