Lt. Manion and later Dr. Smith are shown arriving from Detroit on the Chicago and Northwestern Railway. Such a trip would have meant traveling via Chicago and changing trains (and stations). According to the Official Railway Guide during the period in which the movie is set, the C&NW had one train a day to Marquette. The trip would mean leaving Detroit at 12:50pm (ET) and arriving in Marquette at 7:30am (CT) the next morning (at total travel time of 19:40 including time to change stations in Chicago). By comparison a connection taking the New York Central and Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic with a ferry connection at Mackinac would mean leaving Detroit at 11:00pm and arriving in Marquette at 2:30pm the next day for a travel time of 15:30 including the ferry crossing.
