Any Big Equipment is legal here, and as long as it doesn't turn into the dinner you had last night, or your dog's new tric (unless it is using the equuipment) I really don't care.

I would like to get behind the throttle of this Puppy for about 10 miles......
She is out every Summer from June to the end of the year.
She was the inspiration and animation for the movie...."Polar Express".

PM 1225 was built in 1941 by the Lima Corporation of Lima, Ohio. The locomotive is one of thirty-nine 2-8-4 Berkshire types ordered by the Pere Marquette Railway. The 2-8-4 classification refers to the wheel arrangement of 1225. It has a 2-wheel pony truck up front to guide the larger set of 8 driving wheels into curves, and a 4- wheel trailing truck to support the weight of the boiler’s massive firebox. 1225 is sixteen feet tall, 101 feet long with a combined engine and tender weight of 400 tons. Built for fast freight service it produces 3000 horsepower and is able to pull 100 loaded freight cars at sixty miles per hour. It takes six to eight hours to generate a full head of steam on the locomotive’s boiler, which in turn operates at 245 pounds per square inch. The tender holds 22 tons of coal and 20,000 gallons of water, consuming one ton of coal for every twelve miles and 150 gallons of water per mile.

Bryan,
3031's rods are not in the down postion!! We will have to re stage the photo shoot. I'll start calling around for the engine crew of that engine and give them a good talking too.
Plus the track gang has been slacking off too. Just look at the hole in the ballast in front of 3034 and the stain in the ballast in front of the fourth one in, (road number is blanked out by steam.
I see that the 3006 I posted is not much better.
Sorry.... Just a little foaming.

I've always lived in the East Lansing area (actually about 20 miles west in Grand Ledge). PM 1225 sat on a display siding on the MSU campus for years, until MSU decided it was an eyesore... Grand Ledge was on a major C&O road, with lots of traffic through there every day. Since I was around for a few years before 1225 was put out to pasture, I'm pretty sure I got to see it go through town. It was a pretty big thing when the group started the restoration also - before MSU gave up, we took our kids through it when it was still on campus. (Since Ken's not watching I'll steal this) --->
