As far as I know..... (and this railroad is something I have studied for many years) the railroad was named because one of the predecessor railroads was the flint and Pere Marquette Railroad which ran from flint to the town of Pere Marquette, MI Pere Marquette, MI was named after the priest, but latter changed the name to Ludington, MI

So saying the railroad is named after the priest is at best a half truth.Russ The Rail Guy 19:22, 9 February 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Railguyruss (talk • contribs)

Not the only such name remembering something that has since changed. (I have come across street names that refer to stations and a school long closed.)

What would Gregory XVI have said of the naming? Jackiespeel (talk) 10:20, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
