Title:
PM 2-8-4 # 1238 - Pere Marquette
Description:
Built by Lima in April of 1944 as Pere Marquette 2-8-4 Berkshire #1238 (serial #8460, class N-2). this might loco served the Pere Marquette well in both passenger and freight service. In 1947 when the PM was finally merged into the C&O roster, it was never renumbered. In January of 1958, it was written off the C&O roster and sat in the former Pere Marquette New Buffalo, MI, yard until being scrapped in 1961. 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.
