Title:
PM 2-8-4 #1237 - Pere Marquette
Description:
Once a mighty loco serving first the Pere Marquette and later after the 1947 merger, the Chesapeake & Ohio, it was photographed waiting its fate after being written off the C&O roster in January of 1958. It finally met the scrapper's torch in 1961. Built by Lima in April of 1944 as PM #1237 (serial #8459, class N-2), it was never renumbered after joining the C&O roster in 1947. .Final specs - 70" drivers, impressive 245 psi boiler pressure, 26x34" cylinders, engine weight of 456,100 lb, tractive effort of 69,350 lb with booster adding 14,400 lb. No photographer was listed for the photo.

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.
