PM 2-8-4 #1220 - Pere Marquette
Title:  PM 2-8-4 #1220 - Pere Marquette

C&O 2-8-4 #1225 - ex-PM
Title:  C&O 2-8-4 #1225 - ex-PM
Description:  Here is the now famous Pere Marquette 2-8-4 #1225 of Polar Express fame before its rebirth. Built by Lima in October of 1941 as Pere Marquette #1225, it eventually ended up on the C&O steam roster in 1947 merger. From there, the loco's history takes many dramatic turns eventually ending up as the famous Christmas train. These slides appear to be an unusual study in the parts of this loco while on display at the Michigan State University before it was restored. The date is an approximation.

Pere Marquette Scrap Line at New Buffalo, Michigan
Title:  Pere Marquette Scrap Line at New Buffalo, Michigan
Description:  Truly a sad photo showing the massive scrap line at the former Pere Marquette yard in New Buffalo, MI. The unknown photographer listed the following PM locos in the line - 1238, 1229, 1231, 1228, 1232, and 1237. They were all written off the C&O roster (PM merged into the C&O in 1947 but these were not renumbered) but sat here until the scrapper's torch was ordered in 1961. What a massive pile of steel this line would have made! No photographer was listed for the photo.
