<p>Both the Wabash and the Pere Marquete ran car ferries across the Detroit River, between Detroit and Windsor, Canada. They had a large boatyard, almost under the Ambassador Bridge. The ferries ran 24/7. They now use a tunnel under the river.</p><p>The Ann Arbor Railroad ran car ferries across Lake Michigan, from Ludington, to Manitowoc, Wisconsin. One of the car ferries still runs today, as a passenger ferry, and also takes your auto, if you want.</p><p>The Grand Trunk ran car ferries across the St Clair River, between Port Huron, Michigan, and Sarnia, Ontario. The ferries were discontinued with completion of the tunnel under the St Clair River. The Port Huron car ferries were more modern, and actually had three huge outdrives on the back of the barge.</p><p>Photos here</p><p>http://www.michiganrailroads.com/RRHX/Ports-CarFerries/Ports/PortOfPortHuron-GTW.htm</p>http://www.michiganrailroads.com/RRHX/Ports-CarFerries/Ferries/ChiefWawatam.htm
