  • History of the Pere Marquette Railway
    History of the Pere Marquette Railway Local History at the St. Thomas Public Library 1900: The Pere Marquette Railroad (PM) is formed by merging three small railroads in the United States: Chicago & West Michigan; Flint & Pere Marquette; and the Detroit, Grand Rapids & Western Railways. The PM is named after Père Jacques Marquette, the French Jesuit missionary who founded Michigan’s first European settlement, Sault St. Marie. 1901: Car ferry Pere Marquette 17 is placed in Lake Michigan service. The PM used car ferries on Lake Michigan to avoid the terminal and interchange delays in the area. Later, they were used on Lake Erie, the Detroit River, and in Port Huron. Car Ferry Pere Marquette 17 1902: Car ferry (first) Pere Marquette 18 is placed into Lake Michigan service. January 1903: PM acquires the Lake Erie & Detroit River Railway (LE&DRR), with main lines running from Walkerville, Windsor to St. Thomas, Ontario, as well as from Sarnia to Chatham and Erieau. This begins the Pere Marquette’s presence in Canada. 1904: The Pere Marquette secures running rights from Buffalo, New York and Niagara Falls, New York over the Canadian Southern railway lines to reach St. Thomas, where the PM’s main Canadian facilities will be located. 1905: Shop facilities are constructed in St. Thomas. December 1905: The first receivership begins, meaning that the company is controlled by others in order to make the best decision based on its finances, whether that is stabilizing or selling the company. The Pere Marquette has struggled financially for much of its operating life, and will continue to do so.

    JANUARY - FEBRUARY, 1978 Volume XXVII; Number 1 GREAT LAKES MARITIME INSTITUTE DOSSIN GREAT LAKES MUSEUM Belle Isle, Detroit, Michigan 48207 JAN/FEB, 1978 Page 2 MEMBERSHIP NOTES Welcome to 1978! A brand new year, a brand new slate, and a brand new outlook. It is going to be difficult to keep up with the pace set in 1977, but the continued success of the Institute demands that we not just meet, but surpass last year. At the close of the year our member­ ship had grown to approaching 1,50C. pretty good for an organization that had 97 members in 1959...but this year we’ll shoot for 1,600. It’ll take a lot of work, and you’ll have to help, but you always have, so we should make it. Telescope production last year produced a total of 244 pages, and in addition to that we produced the FITZGERALD book with 60 pages. For the uninitiated, this means your Editor typed, then Varityped 608 pages. This much production takes a lot of time, but we are going to do something about it, and we’ll have an announcement to make perhaps as early as the next issue. Not only will what we have planned result in far less work to getting Telescope out, but it will produce a far better product. Yes, 1977 was a good year...but 1978 looks better. MEETING NOTICES Regular membership meetings are scheduled for January 27, March 31, and May 19 (early to avoid Memorial Day weekend). All meetings will be at the Dossin Museum at 8:00 PM.
