IMG_0002On Saturday November 5th, Pere Marquette 1225 pulled its special 75th birthday train from Owosso to Clare, Michigan and back. This was a huge celebration of the locomotives 75th birthday with many festivities IMG_9960Since there is no where to turn the engine in Clare 1225 pulled the train tender first for the northbound portion of the trip. This would be the first time since 1991 that 1225 would be on former Pere Marquette rails. 

 

IMG_9976 There was even a special birthday cake for all the guests and crew to Enjoy in Clare it was a wonderful Time. 

IMG_0003Many Locomotives and rail organizations today survive due to volunteers. Pere Marquette 1225 and the Steam Railroading Institute is no exception. I'm proud to be among the group that help keep history alive and can bring joy to so many people. It can be hard laborious work but it's always a blast no matter what. Here's to 75 more years of Pere Marquette 1225.

I was up there Saturday morning.  Since she ran Strasburg Style, tender 1st, I didn't chase.  I had plans that evening and couldn't be there for the chase south.  I arrived before sunrise and captured the shot I really wanted, the colors of the sunrise reflecting off the tender and rails.  I did head into town to see her off then headed home. 

Enjoy the pics.

I also have a friend who does some pin-up modeling and she wanted me to get a few shots in front of the locomotive.

Great pic's.  I was there in Clare for the whole day.

Here is a link to the dropbox link to see the Pere Marequette 1225 in Clare Michigan on Saturday Nov. 5, 2016.  I fulfilled a wish on my bucket list that day.
There are 27 still pictures and 4 videos.
Feel free to copy all you want from this site.
I will leave them up there for about a month.
Larry
