All Rail Route Proposed From Michigan to Duluth
Dan W Kaufman of Marquette touts a new across lake link via Northport and Manistique that could cut eighty five miles from the shortest current inland route. A $500,000 two car ferry with 30 car capacity and passenger space will connect Northport to Manistique, enabling ore coal movements and challenging lake steamers. The plan ties Traverse City Leelanau Manistique, Grand Rapids Indiana, and Pennsy connections into a broader rail network expected to reshape Great Lakes trade.
