Pere Marquette Railroad footage from 1940's
Old 8mm footage of switching operations on the Pere Marquette Railroad circa. 1940's. No sound. Shots of 0-8-0 steam locomotive switchers #241 and #254. Great shot of steam engine #254 being turned on a turntable. Experts tell me that this was shot at Pere Marquette's Ottawa Yard south of Erie, MI. It was a semi hump yard and the yard tower / office was east of the main line and west of the yard. The coaling dock was 300 tons. This yard was later abandoned after the PM / C&O Merger.

Crane Clearing Trees - Lemoyne Ohio Circa. 1940
This was filmed around 1940 by Frank Grabenstetter on his 8mm camera. I believe these trees were being cleared in preparation of putting in the US Route 20 (Fremont Pike) bridge overpass over the railroad tracks in Lemoyne, Ohio. The bridge goes over the CSX Railroad (formerly C&O-B&O), Lemoyne Road and Packer Creek. From info I can find the bridge was completed in 1941.
