Pere Marquette Railroad Steam Train 1940s Photo 2.75 x 7

This photograph dates to the 1940s and shows a Pere Marquette Railroad steam locomotive presented in full side profile during the final years of mainline steam service.

The Pere Marquette Railroad operated as a major Midwestern carrier, linking Michigan with Chicago and Ohio through passenger and freight routes that supported industrial and agricultural traffic. Steam locomotives remained central to its operations into the mid-century transition period, when railroads balanced established power with emerging diesel technology. Images from this phase document both mechanical design and the visual culture of American railroading at its peak.

The photograph features a steam locomotive numbered 295, shown laterally with tender, boiler, and running gear clearly visible. The engine rests on track with the full length of the train framed against a light background, emphasizing wheel arrangement, piping, and external hardware. The print measures 2.75 x 7 inches.
