76 Miles |
| Description: |
A few miles north of Oakley, 1225 creeps up to the marker at Milepost 76 (From Jackson, Michigan). Once upon a time, the St. Charles branch was part of the New York Central's mainline between Jackson and Saginaw. Today, only the segments between Jackson and Lansing (now the NS Lansing Secondary) and this segment between Owosso and Fergus exist. The sections between Fergus and Paines Junction, near Saginaw, and from Owosso to Lansing were torn up in the late 1970s. |

Now running at restricted speed (due to poor track conditions), 1225 creeps along past milepost 76, several miles north of Oakley. The train has only one more mile to go before reaching the "North Pole" at the Saginaw County fairgrounds. GLC 385 follows closely behind in the distance. |

Finally approaching the fairgrounds, 1225 slugs along past MP 77 at a mere 5 Miles Per Hour. Since this photo was taken, the track has been upgraded to the point where it can once again handle speeds of 10 MPH, but it will likely never see any higher speeds ever again. |

(1) Steam at Sunrise |
| Description: |
For the second year in a row, Historic Preservation Transport Inc. (also known as Steam Specials), ran a special photo charter with Pere Marquette 1225. This time however, the special was performed during the winter, a much more fun season to observe steam in. On February 16, 2008, the first day of the charter, dawn finds the 1225 heading south on the St. Charles branch several miles north of Henderson, performing the first runby of the day. |

Considering what prices are at now (In July), 3.98 seems a bit cheap.... Fortunately (for consumers at least), gas stations with these older pumps can't go above $3.99. No matter how much we pay for gas though, it will never compare to the amount of money that SRI must spend on 1225's fuel, which it is clearly using in this shot. |
