DEVELOPMENT OF FIXED PHYSICAL PROPERTY

The location of the carrier's line has previously been described in the text under the caption Location and General Description of Property. The carrier acquired 1,829 miles of road by consolidation, of which it acquired 1,808 miles from the Pere Marquette Railroad Company (1) and 21 miles from the Pere Marquette Railroad Company of Indiana. Subsequent to consolidation the carrier constructed 2 miles additional and shortened its line 42 miles by abandonments, realignments, etc., so that its line at present embraces about 1,789 miles of road.

At the time of the consolidation the line owned by the Pere Marquette Railroad Company of Indiana extended from Alfred, Mich., near New Buffalo, to Porter, Ind., by means of which line and of trackage rights over other carriers from Porter, Ind., the Pere Marquette Railroad Company (1) has gained entrance into Chicago. The railroad of the Pere Marquette Railroad Company (1) was located as follows:

An east and west line extended from Chicago, Ill., through Detroit, Mich., thence over the Lake Erie, which was leased to and operated by the Pere Marquette Railroad Company (1), to St. Thomas, Ontario, and thence by trackage agreements over the lines of The Michigan Central Railroad Company to the Niagara-Buffalo gateways. As stated above, entrance into Chicago, Ill., was by sole use of the line of the Pere Marquette Railroad Company of Indiana extending from a point near New Buffalo, Mich., to Porter, Ind., and from the latter point by trackage arrangements over the tracks of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway Company, the Chicago Terminal Transfer Railroad Company, and the Pennsylvania Company. Two north and south lines serving the summer resort territory of the western section of the lower peninsula of Michigan, extended from Holland and Grand Rapids, on the Chicago-Buffalo line to Pentwater and Bay City, Mich., respectively. Another line extended from Ludington southeasterly through Saginaw to Port Huron, Mich., thence over the leased and controlled Canadian line to Rond Eau, Ontario, connecting with the Chicago-Buffalo line at Blenheim, Ontario. Operation was extended by means of car-ferry service from Ludington to Milwaukee, Manitowoc and Kewanee, Wis. Still another line extended from Bay City, Mich., southerly through Saginaw to Toledo, O., the latter point being reached from Alexis, O., through trackage arrangements. In addition to the foregoing, the Pere Marquette Railroad Company (1) operated considerable mileage in the central section of the lower peninsula and in the so-called "Thumb District" of Michigan, also numerous branches.

Of the 74 corporations, which comprised the line of succession culminating in the Pere Marquette Railroad Company (1), 24 corporations constructed no property, as appears from the table of corporate succession previously given. The property constructed by the remaining corporations, the years various portions of the line were opened for operation, and the manner in which the Pere Marquette Railroad Company (1) acquired the property are disclosed in the following table, wherein, to facilitate comparison with the table showing corporate succession, the same order of corporations is maintained:
