The Pere Marquette Railway, Manitowoc, Wisconsin, built the car ferry "City of Flint 32" in 1930 and operated her until 1947. She ran between Ludington, Michigan and the Wisconsin cities of Kewaunee, Manitowoc, and Milwaukee. The ship was damaged in a storm on November 12, 1940, but was repaired. In 1947 she was sold to the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad and in 1969 to the Norfolk and Western Railroad.
