Returning to quarters. A Chesapeake & Ohio yard crew spin one of the company's big N-1 Class Berkshire Locomotives to the turntable lead that will take it to its stall in the roundhouse for the night.
This image was captured in the Owosso Yard of Michigan's Great Lakes Central Railroad. The featured locomotive is Pere Marquette Railroad N-1 Class, 2-8-4 "Berkshire" Locomotive #1225, which is owned and operated by the Owosso-based Steam Railroading Institute (SRI). The 1225 was re-lettered as C&O 2699 for a January 2026 photo shoot organized by Lerro Photography. The 1225 was re-lettered to represent the former PM N-Class Berkshires, which were renumbered when the Pere Marquette Railroad merged with the Chesapeake & Ohio in 1947.
