You can still see some of the old concrete culverts on the private property at the corner of Evanston and 25A. The carbarns are still there at the property right next to the (now) CSX tracks at German and S 5th. The D&T went north on S 5th to Main, then jogged over to N 6th, and took that until 6th stopped. From there, it parallelled the railroad for a bit, then cut over to Cowlesville (corner of Tipp-Cowlesville and Kessler-Cowlesville, before heading north to Troy.

Generally, the line followed North Dixie past Stop Eight Road (that was, in fact, the eighth stop on the line) thru Vandalia and on up to Tipp. The D&T entered Dayton on the tracks of the Peoples Railway Company on Keowee St. The D&T became no more in August 1932 due to a bridge collapse.
