As the low sun casts the unknown photographer's shadow upon the scene, Pere Marquette Consolidation No. 274 simmers near a pile of coal at an engine terminal. The location is likely Windsor, Ontario, though no details are available for this image contributed by Tom Rock of T.D.R. Productions. Erected by American Locomotive Company in 1905, these class C-2 2-8-0s mustered 33,400 pounds of tractive force on the basis of 20x28-inch cylinders, 57-inch drivers and 200 pounds of boiler pressure. These modest dimensions were continued in the small 44-square-foot grate area, 1905-square-foot evaporative heating surface, and 395-foot total superheating surface. While small engines, these 2-8-0s with their Stephenson valve gears and squared steam chests served into the post-World War II era, the last examples being retired in 1948.
