Pere Marquette 1223, Steam locomotive in Grand Haven, United States.
Pere Marquette 1223 measures 94 feet in length and features a 2-8-4 wheel configuration, built by Lima Locomotive Works in 1941.
The locomotive transported essential wartime freight between Chicago and Detroit during World War II, operating as part of the Pere Marquette Railway fleet.
Michigan schoolchildren raised funds in 1960 to save the locomotive from being scrapped, leading to its initial preservation at Detroit State Fairgrounds.
Visitors can examine the locomotive at its permanent location along the Grand River, accompanied by a restored steel boxcar and two cabooses.
This locomotive remains one of only two surviving Pere Marquette Berkshire-type engines, maintaining its original numbering from 1941.
