My favorite would have to be the" Pere Marquette" between Grand Rapids Michigan, and Chicago. There was also a Grand Rapids to Detroit train. These were some of the first postwar streamliners in the country, powered by EMD E-7s. The GR-Detroit trains were placed in service by the Pere Marquette Railroad in 1946, and the C&O placed the Chicago-GR in 1948 or so, after the C&O takeover of the PM. There was also a train to Petoskey, and Bay View , the northernmost part of lower Michigan. Today AMTRAK operates a GR-Chicago" PereMarquette", but it does'nt compare to the originals. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
