Historical American railroad
The Detroit and Pontiac Railroad is a defunct railroad which operated in the state of Michigan during the mid-nineteenth century. It was the sixth railroad to receive a charter from Michigan, then a territory, and the second, after the Erie & Kalamazoo, to actually operate trains. The first attempt to connect Detroit and Pontiac by railroad had come on July 31, 1830; when the Michigan Territorial Council granted a charter to the Pontiac and Detroit Railroad.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
