Most people know the Pere Marquette Railway for it's N-1 Berkshire locomotives hauling fast freights, or surviving 1225 pulling excursions in rural Michigan. However, an often overlooked part of the PM's history is their unique, one of a kind streamliner deemed the first post-war American streamliner train. While other trains had debuted before the PM's train, the Pere Marquette was the first all new to be built and enter service after World War II. In this video I detail the history of this train during its life on the Pere Marquette, Chesapeake & Ohio, along with its eventual continuation on Amtrak.

Heya, thanks for watching! Sorry this video took a little while to get out, I've been pretty busy with college assignments and projects lately but I think things should be calming down a bit on my end. Either way, I'm gonna try to stick to my weekly/bi-weekly schedule as usual best I can going forward.

@sirmartinfrobisher 3 года назад

The name of the train is wrong being pronounced as "Pierre" Marquette, which translates from French as "Peter", entirely incorrect. The correct word is the original "Pere" or its translation, "Father". Pere Jacques Marquette was an explorer of the region. My apologies for the correction. My ancestor was a French invader of England in 1066.

Pere Marquette had a branch line straight through my hometown of Laporte, IN ! It went to Lacrosse, IN. We hopped a flat car once around 1977 and rode rode it up to New Buffalo, MI . It was C&O then. Some yard guy started yelling at us as we jumped off near the New Buffalo mainline connection. The section from Union Mills to Lacrosse are all that remain of the branch. Obviously there were no streamliners to be seen by then.

@STHSIndustries2K6 Год назад

Chesapeake and Ohio operated the pere Marquette until Amtrak took over in 1971. Amtrak still operates a train of pere Marquette name. Even though the old C&O Pere Marquettes may be gone Amtrak carries their legacy.

Is pronouncing "pere" as "Pierre" a Michigan thing? The correct pronouncination is "pear" like the fruit but in New York Central Odyssey by Green Frog of which most of the footage was shot in Michigan by Emery Gulash, the narrator as says "Pierre Marquette" instead of "Pere Marquette," then to hear "Pierre Marquette" in this video too I'm not sure if it was just an error on the part of the narrator or is this just how Michganders prnounce it.

@@Alcofoamer No that's not how we pronounce it in Michigan. Although we usually refer to him as Father Marquette as he was a Catholic priest and early explorer.

I live in St. Louis and have become a bit of a rail buff having ridden all the AMTRAK rail west of St. Louis to see The West. This video gave me good background of an AMTRAK route I had no familiarity. I liked riding the Superliner passenger cars used for long distance rail out West. This line is fortunate to use the Superliner passernger cars for comfort as I thought AMTRAK only used them for the routes out West.

@Lucius_Chiaraviglio 3 года назад

They might get better ridership if they ran a more convenient schedule. Outbound, it runs into the very late evening; inbound, you have to get up ridiculously early in the morning to get it unless you're already most of the way to Chicago. (And Amtrak's web site seems to deny all knowledge of the train going back from Chicago to Grand Rapids.)

Fun fact, my uncles antique store-Lost and Found-is just across from the station. When my grandma went to see him she sent me a picture of a private car parked in the station belonging to the Pennsylvania Railroad. I believe it was an entirely refurbished Budd Observation car. I really do hope the Pere Marquette passenger line could become whole again, perhaps connecting other routes like TC or Mackinac too.

Nice video! And good job of adding in the new Amtrak Pere Marquette info. I grew up in Muskegon in the 60's and 70's, and remember the Muskegon connection; a GP9 loco usually pulling a single heavyweight coach. Sometimes the newer streamlined coaches showed up. It wasn't really pretty compared to the E7-led Grand Rapids trains, but to me it was *my* passenger train, and if I heard it whistling for crossings approaching Muskegon Heights of a Sunday afternoon, I'd try to hurry Mom and Dad away from church to chase it down Airline Road towards Grand Haven. That's how we entertained ourselves in the pre-electronic age!

Holy shiiiiiit I have a single hazy childhood memory of getting off of a train at the OG C&O station in New Buffalo. I was so confused when I gradually realized there was no longer a station there and why a new one was built downtown. Thanks for that info!

@spaceghost8995 3 года назад

The station built downtown in New Buffalo is just a plexiglass and metal shanty . Also, the Pere Marquette doesn't go downtown anyway. The Michigan Central (New York Central) line goes through downtown. It is now wholly owned by Amtrak. Trains from Chicago to Detroit run on that line. The Amtrak on the PM line doesn't stop in New Buffalo anymore , at least I don't think so.

@naturelvr123 3 года назад

You put out a good video about trains after the war. But I believe that Americans (& I mean those in control) really lost the "travel by train" idea. We spent a month in the UK & used only trains & bus to get around. And it works. I'm not putting down our system of transportation but if we had a system to go from Chicago to Denver or anywhere else as does the UK to get around-that would be fantastic. ps As a kid, the barber I went to in central Illinois had large photos of the Art-Deco style of engines on the wall, they are still in my memory.

I've been looking into riding the Pere Marquette, but the Grand Rapids arrival and departure times are terrible (6:00 am departure to Chicago and 11:34 pm arrival from Chicago). It may be a scenic line, but a most of the scenery would be missed in the eastbound direction and some in the westbound direction unless one is traveling in the summer.

It’s amazing that Amtrak can pour money into new locomotives but yet are still running the same tired Amfleets/Horizons from 30+ years ago. I honestly think in the northeast at least they should’ve invested in some modern passenger cars to go with the Chargers. Or, if they really wanted to keep the older cars, they should’ve completely stripped and rebuilt the interiors. Train travel in the northeast is at least reasonably efficient, but, especially in the aftermath of this pandemic, I think they’re really going to need to give people a good reason to take a train again instead of staying in their cars. And I get the Avelia Liberty is supposed to be the new flagship and super nice on the inside, but let’s be honest, far more people take the Northeast Regionals than the high speed services, so maybe spending a little to make those nicer would’ve gone a long way.

@RandomMichiganGuy 3 года назад

I live in Grand Rapids and take the train to Chicago often. Last month (January) I took the train down and they used the superliner cars. But in the train yard in Chicago they had some of the new passenger cars being moved by a switcher. They had Amtrak Midwest on them and I know Michigan wants to start using them soon. So it probably won't be much longer until the trains are the new coaches and engines only.

@pmrailfan7521 Год назад

Thats pretty much how ya have to do it. As we have reached the technology age more and more folks are pulling grandpa's reel to reel film footage out of the arks attic and converting them to digital. So you have to scour the net watching alot of whatever for a glimpse of the ever rare PM train. This video shows alot of 'magazine' ads (still shots) that are pretty common to find on the net. Theres some real good footage of the PM streamliner hidden in a C&O video here on RU-vid. Including live footage of Bob Young using a credit card in the PM diner car. I was actually doing the scavenging thing as mentioned, when i came across this video. Dont forget, the PM was one of the 'Van Sweringen' roads, so you will find traces of it when you sniff around C&O, B&O, Erie, NKP. Especially C&O for obvious reasons.
