The Pere Marquette Railroad was formed in 1990. It is not one of the organized paper railroads. It was named after the original PM. It consists of the CSX Saginaw, Detroit, Plymouth, and GR Subs, as well as the Marquette Rail, the JAIL, the MAL from Richmond to Jackson, the NS line from Ypsilanti to Kalamazoo, the LSRC(including the line from Gaylord to Mackinaw City, and the GLC. There is business from ferries at Mackinaw City and Ludington. At Mackinaw City, CN trains come down the line from Trout Lake to St Ignace, which was never removed, and take the cars from the PM to their destination. UP takes the cars from PM that went across the lake from Ludington and takes them to their destination.

The paint scheme the PM has on it's engines is the same that the original PM had on it's engines. The types of engines the PM has are 15 SD40-2's, 15 C40-8's, 4 SD50's, 22 Gensets, 6 GP30's, 4 GP38's, 8 SW9's, and 6 GP35's.

You forgot the MS and the CSX Grand Rapids Terminal subdivision (you want wyoming yard right?)

Passenger services began in 2000. There are 4 trains each way from Detroit to Chicago(100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 106), and 2 each way going from Toledo to Mackinaw City(200, 201, 202,203). The 100 series trains start at Chicago Union City and stop at Michigan City, St Joseph, Bangor, Holland, Grand Rapids, Lake Odessa, Grand Ledge, Lansing, Williamston, Howell, Brighton, Plymouth, Livonia, Dearborn, and MC Station. The 200 series trains start at Toledo Union Station and stop at Monroe, Romulus, Plymouth, Milford, Holly, Grand Blanc, Flint, Birch Run, Saginaw, Bay City, Piconning, Grayling, Gaylord, Cheboygan, and Mackinaw City.

Oh yeah, I did forget. I'll edit the first post.

I wonder if conrailman75 is going to get me back too. I was annoying him last night.

There are 4 wb CP's between Lansing and GR right now, as well as U106 in downtown Lansing.

A grain train is currently being loaded in Webberville. Two SD40-2's and what will be a 68 car train.

The proposed Flint intermodal terminal looks to be getting closer to becoming a reality. That would mean quite a few intermodal trains on the PMRR Saginaw Subdivision.

U035 is in White Pigeon working the interchange with the GDLK. A GP30 with 10 boxcars from Sturgis.

If the Flint intermodal terminal is ever built, there should be atleast 6 new trains to Flint.

The intermodal project in Flint has been approved! PMRR will be building the tracks into the terminal. It should be finished around mid summer.
