Title:  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
