PM 2-8-4 #1220 - Pere Marquette |
| Description: |
Here is a beautiful example of a 1941 Lima built Berkshire. It was a class N1 with 69" drivers and developed a boiler pressure of 245 psi for its 26"x34" cylinders. The engine wt was 442,500 lb, and it created a resprectable tractive effort of 69,368 lb. Sadly the class was scrapped by 1958 but it was a brute in its heyday!. Mac Miller photo |

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. |

Another closeup view of the drivers on the 1941 Lima built 2-8-4 Berkshire #1225 built originally for the Perl Marquette but merged into the C&O roster in 1947.

C&O 2-8-4 #1225 - ex-PM |
| Description: |
Another close up view of the drivers on this 1941 Lima built 2-8-4 Berkshire, orginally Pere Marquette #1225 but absorbed into the C&O roster in 1947. An unknown photographer did a photo slide study of this beautiful machine while on static display at Michigan State University. Its story after this point is an interesting one with many dramatic moments and the dedication by a group of rail activists originally from the university. The date is approximate. |
