  • 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.

  • Railroads in Muncie, Indiana Author Michael L. Johnston May 1, 2009
    Railroads in Muncie 1 Running Head: RAILROADS IN MUNCIE Railroads in Muncie, Indiana Author Michael L. Johnston May 1, 2009 Copyright 2009. M. L. Johnston. All rights reserved. Railroads in Muncie 2 Running Head: Railroads in Muncie Abstract Railroads in Muncie, Indiana explains the evolution of railroads in Muncie, and Delaware County, Indiana. Throughout the history of the United States, the railroad industry has been a prominent contributor to the development and growth of states and communities. Communities that did not have railroads did not develop as competitively until improvements in roads and highways gave them access to an alternative form of transportation. This manuscript provides a brief overview of the history and location of the railroads in Muncie and their importance to the growth of the community. Copyright 2009. M. L. Johnston. All rights reserved. Railroads in Muncie 3 Running Head: Railroads in Muncie Railroads in Muncie, Indiana Evolution of the U.S. Railroad Industry The U.S. railroad industry started around 1810 in the East. After the Civil War, railroad construction was rampant and often unscrupulous. Too many railroad lines were built that were under-capitalized, poorly constructed, and did not have enough current business to survive. Monopolistic and financial abuses, greed and political corruption forced government regulations on the railroads. From 1887 until 1980 the federal Interstate Commerce Commission strictly regulated economics and safety of all railroads operating in the U.S. Until 1980 the various states, also, regulated economics and safety of railroad companies within their individual state boundaries. Railroads are privately owned and the federal government considers them to be common carriers for the benefit of the public.

  • Railway History Chronology
    St. Thomas Railway History Chronology 1834 - The plan for the Great Western Railway (GWR) is conceived. An economic depression delays implementation for several years. 23 October 1847 - Sod-turning commences for the GWR. It becomes the largest system in Southwestern Ontario. 1850s - Surveying for railway lines is conducted in the St. Thomas area by different railroad companies. Among those reported in the St. Thomas Weekly Dispatch are routes to Simcoe and Amherstburg. 1854 - Citizens of St. Thomas are disappointed that the GWR decided to build through London from Windsor to Niagara Falls instead of St. Thomas. St. Thomas’s leading citizens had been campaigning for years for a railway. 1856 - The London and Port Stanley Railway (L&PS) is inaugurated. Though it was initially supported by St. Thomas, it turned out to be a financial disaster, as St. Thomas merchants lost customers to London. The city purchased shares in the company for $125,000.00 a piece and later sold them to the City of London, who owned the line, for $25,000.00 per share. 1868 - The Erie and Niagara Extension Railway is chartered and the following year it is renamed the Canada Southern Railway (CASO). Late 1860’s - William A. Thomson rallies support for the CASO run between Amherstburg and Fort Erie to connect to St. Thomas. He is successful. 1871 - The CASO Station is built in anticipation of the railroad’s arrival the following year. It still stands today. 1872- The GWR, afraid of losing traffic to the CASO, constructed a rival St. Thomas to Glencoe line, thereby affording St.
