Pere Marquette 1225 was built in 1941 at the peak of steam locomotive development. This narrative traces the 1225's regular freight service in Michigan, its unlikely salvation from the scrapheap for preservation at Michigan State University, and the subsequent work to bring it back to steam, first by a student club and later by the Steam Railroading Institute.
