Bob Thatcher from the
Bluewater Chapter, NRHS reports: The former Pere Marquette
turntable in New Buffalo was purchased in 2000 by the Michigan State Trust
for Railway Preservation (owner/operator of ex-PM #1225) and moved to
Owosso. It is sitting on the ground there while the Trust engages in
raising funds for the purchase of property from T&SB and eventual
construction of a new roundhouse/museum and turntable pit. Also,
since the New Buffalo turntable was only 90 feet in diameter, the bridge
will have to be lengthened in order to accommodate the #1225. (7/20/01).
