PM 2-8-4 #1233 - Pere Marquette
Description:
Technically, this Pere Marquette 2-8-4 Berkshire #1233 was actually a C&O loco but was never renumbered when the PM finally merged into the C&O roster. Built by Lima in May of 1944 (serial #8467, class N-2) served both railroads well with its beefy power. It was eventually written off the C&O roster in January of 1958 but didn't actually meet the scrapper's torch until 1961 after being stored with sister units in New Buffalo, MI. Final specs - 70" drivers (upgrade from 69" in 1946), 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.

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.
