Condensed Roster of Pere Marquette Steam Locomotives

Updated: 01-SEP-2023

This roster encompasses nearly all of the standard gauge steam locomotives owned by the Pere Marquette from the time of the merger that created it in 1900 until its merger into the Chesapeake & Ohio in 1947. When using this roster, please note:

Locomotives of the same class and builder may not have necessarily been part of the same order.
"Last Off Roster" refers to the approximate year that the last member of a group was removed from the roster and/or scrapped. In some cases, a single locomotive may have remained on the roster up to a dozen years after others listed with it were scrapped.
All locomotives acquired in the initial merger that formed the Pere Marquette are shown with the year 1900 as their "First On Roster" date.
Locomotives shown as built by ALCo may have been built at ALCo's Schenectady, Brooks, Dunkirk, Pittsburgh, or Richmond works. That information has been omitted from this list in the interest of brevity.

Data for this roster was culled from PM equipment diagrams and Pere Marquette Power by Art Million and Tom Dixon. For more detailed information on the steam locomotives of the Pere Marquette, refer to Pere Marquette Power.
