Pere Marquette Class MK-2

The Pere Marquette Class MK-2 was a class of 2-8-2 "Mikado" type steam locomotives that were built by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO), for the Pere Marquette Railway in 1927.
==History==
In the 1920s, the Pere Marquette Railway needed more powerful locomotives to operate on their system, so the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) 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-2, a total of ten examples were constructed by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) and they were all delivered to the Pere Marquette Railway in 1927.
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-2 is one surviving Nickel Plate Road Mikado, No. 587.
