After the Pennsylvania Railroad, several other railroads are of interest to me--but none more so than the Pere Marquette.
At one time part of the old Van Sweringen empire, it later merged with the Chesapeake and Ohio. C&O's streamlined passenger "Pere Marquette" service in the 1940s featured some of the most beautiful passenger equipment of the streamlined era.
But this evening a little YouTube surfing turned up the following. And while it's not the greatest footage, it still is pretty cool!

Two summers ago, on a family trip to Canada, we stopped in Sault Ste. Marie, and took a day trip on the Algoma Railroad, along the north shore of Lake Superior and into the canyon. Beautiful.
