Pere Marquette 1225 Pulls 61 Car Freight TrainJan 31, 2012
This video is of a test run PM 1225 made prior to the 2009 season. Not many people were on hand for this. 1225 pulled its aux tender, crew car, AA caboose, 58 grain cars and a Great Lakes Central Geep. The runs were made up the St. Charles branch. Thanks to Jeff Rayner for shooting this video and Great Lakes Central for allowing runs like this to happen when they had no obligation to.

Ryan Agnew gave Marquette a good send off to their matchup with No. 1 Duke on Monday in the Semi's of CBE Classic in Kansas City. His half court shot propelled the Golden Eagle to an 82-69 win over South Dakota in front of a crowd of 14117. Ok, so he didn't really play in the game, but took the Heiser Challenge half court shot and is now proud owner of a new Toyota Camry!

I hope you enjoyed watching this video as much as I enjoyed making it during our Christmas Open House 2010!

GTW Car Ferrys 1920-1978Apr 14, 2011
These photos were taken by my dad in the 1920's and by me in 1978. There were four railroads that ran car ferries. The Detroit & Mackinaw which operated the last and oldest hand fired coal burning steam ship, the bow loader Chief Wawatam between Mackinaw City & St Ignus in the upper peninsula.

The C&O also had PM17, PM21 & PM18 stored at Ludington. Next was the Ann Arbor who sailed from Alberta/Frankfort Mich to Keuwaunee Wis and Manistique in the upper peninsula. Last the Grand Truck Western. They sailed originally out of Grand Haven to Milwaukee. In 1933 the GTW moved their marine operations to Muskegon gaining access over the Pennsylvania. They ran three ferries. The Madison, Grand Rapids and the City of Milwaukee bought surplus from the Ann Arbor to replace the Milwaukee which sank in a fierce gale off Racine Wis in 1923.
