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. |

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. |
