- William L. Mercereau (born June 9, 1866 – June 22, 1957) was an American design engineer and business manager of train ferries for the Pere Marquette Railway. He supervised their railroad-over-water system of train ferries which operated from Ludington, Michigan which was the largest carferry system in the world. Mercereau was involved in the implementation of loading a complete railroad car full of freight directly onto ships as one unit rather than transferring bulk material from railroad cars to steamship vessel holding tanks and back again at its final destination.
