Pere Marquette Railroad depot, Bay City, MI. The Pere Marquette Railway was established in 1863 and ran its first line between Flint and Saginaw. They extended the line to Ludington and then looked to extend further into the Saginaw Valley. Meanwhile, investors in Bay City had formed the Bay City and East Saginaw Railroad Company to lay a separate line. Seeing the potential, the Pere Marquette purchased the Bay City and East Saginaw line in 1867. The first train pulled into Bay City on November 23, 1867
