==Transportation== [[File:M-V Lee A. Tregurtha and the M-V Kaye E. Barker at the Iron Ore Dock in Marquette, Michigan.jpg|thumb|The Presque Isle Harbor Ore Dock, an [[Ore dock|ore pocket dock]], was built in 1912. Trains drop ore into the dock. Then chutes on the side of the dock lower to spill the ore into ships. Shown docked in the photo are the [[MV Lee A. Tregurtha|MV ''Lee A. Tregurtha'']] (near) and the [[MV Kaye E. Barker|MV ''Kaye E. Barker'']] (far).]] Marquette is served by [[American Eagle (airline brand)|American Eagle]] and [[Delta Connection]] out of Marquette Sawyer Regional Airport (MQT, KSAW) with daily flights to [[Chicago O'Hare Airport|Chicago]] and [[Detroit Metropolitan Airport|Detroit]]. The airport is located {{convert|20|mi|km|0}} south of downtown Marquette. The city is served by a public transit system known as [[MarqTran]], which runs buses through the city and to nearby places such as Marquette Sawyer Regional Airport and [[Ishpeming, Michigan|Ishpeming]]. The system operates out of a transit center in the adjacent [[Marquette Township, Marquette County, Michigan|Marquette Township]] in addition to a small transfer station in downtown. In addition, [[Indian Trails]] bus lines operates daily intercity bus service between [[Hancock, Michigan|Hancock]] and [[Milwaukee, Wisconsin]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Hancock–Marquette–Green Bay–Milwaukee |publisher=[[Indian Trails]] |date=January 12, 2012 |access-date=February 27, 2013 |url=http://www.indiantrails.com/sites/default/files/1490_0.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222225859/http://www.indiantrails.com/sites/default/files/1490_0.pdf |archive-date=February 22, 2014 }}</ref> The line operates a stop at MarqTran's transit center. Marquette has limited freight rail service by the [[Lake Superior and Ishpeming Railroad]] (LS&I). The [[Canadian National Railway]] also goes through nearby Negaunee. The LS&I serves the Upper Harbor Ore Dock, which loads iron ore pellets from nearby mining operations onto lake freighters for shipment throughout the Great Lakes.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://michiganradio.org/post/marquette-ore-docks-reminder-citys-maritime-and-mining-heritage |title=Marquette Ore Docks a Reminder of the City's Maritime and Mining Heritage |last=Mejia |first=Mercedes |date=September 1, 2015 |publisher=Michigan Radio |access-date=February 2, 2019 |archive-date=January 14, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190114000054/http://www.michiganradio.org/post/marquette-ore-docks-reminder-citys-maritime-and-mining-heritage |url-status=live }}</ref> Three of [[Michigan Department of Transportation|MDOT's]] state highways serve Marquette as did a former business route for US 41 and a former state highway. * {{jct|state=MI|US|41|M|28|Tour|LSCT}} are two highways continuing westerly and northerly toward [[Houghton, Michigan|Houghton]] and [[Wakefield, Michigan|Wakefield]] and southerly toward [[Escanaba, Michigan|Escanaba]] and [[Sault Ste.
