Pere Marquette Class MK-6

The Pere Marquette Class MK-2 was a class of five 2-8-2 "Mikado" type steam locomotives that were built by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) and the Baldwin Locomotive Works, for the Erie Railroad in 1913 and later acquired by Pere Marquette Railway in 1929.
==History==
In the 1910s, the Erie Railroad needed more powerful locomotives to operate on their system, so the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) and 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 Erie Railroad.
Enter the Pere Marquette Class MK-6, a total of five examples were constructed by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) and the Baldwin Locomotive Works and they were all delivered to the Erie Railroad in 1913. All five examples were acquired by the Pere Marquette Railway in 1929, and they were all added to the Pere Marquette Railway's roster in 1929.
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-6 were preserved, they were all scrapped in 1949, thus rendering them extinct.
All that's left of the Pere Marquette Class MK-6 is one surviving Nickel Plate Road Mikado, No. 587.
