The Pere Marquette Class MK was a class of 2-8-2 "Mikado" type steam locomotives that were built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for the Pere Marquette Railway in 1913.

History[]

In the 1910s, the Pere Marquette Railway needed more powerful locomotives to operate on their system, so the Baldwin Locomotive Works who was tasked on building a steam locomotive had went back to the drawing board to draw up plans of the new steam locomotive for the Pere Marquette Railway. Enter the Pere Marquette Class MK, a total of ten were constructed by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and they were all delivered to the Pere Marquette Railway in 1913.

All examples were added to the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway's roster when the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway had acquired the Pere Marquette Railway. They were all retired from active service on the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, and not a single one of the Pere Marquette Class MK were preserved, they were all scrapped, thus rendering them extinct.

All that's left of the Pere Marquette Class MK is one surviving Nickel Plate Road Mikado, No. 587.
