The Pere Marquette in
1945. Here's what the railroad
looked like 45 years
after the PM's formation in
1900. Not just the locomotive
power, but the whole
plant including tracks,
towns and industries. This
historical information was
saved by the PM itself in a
book.
By 1945 the PM had
become a busy, modern,
efficient railroad and was
anticipating a return to a
peacetime economy. This
book is your ticket back to
that year. This is the entire
railroad, the main lines,
branch lines, terminals
reached by trackage
rights, and the three
Wisconsin ports serviced
by the PM's ferries.
