All C&O trains were run on Pennsylvania tracks from Walbridge to Galena St., where Ann Arbor took over.
The second special orginated at Cherry St. on AA RR.
The B&O train from Lima was switched to the Toledo Terminal RR at Bates, and run to Hallet, where it was backed on to the Ann Arbor RR tracks.
In addition two specials were run from Detroit over the Wabash to Milan, and from there to Ann Arbor. The NYC ran a special over its own rails to Detroit, and over the MC to Ann Arbor, and possibly at least two more from Detroit.
According to "19" order one special (eng. 8015) ran before the 1st train shown above! The leaving time at Alexis is shown as 8:30 AM.
