PM 2-10-2 #1199 at Plymouth, Michigan in November, 1937

 

In 1930, the PM gained two new locomotives which would be the largest on the railroad until the arrival of its first Berkshires in 1937. The locomotives, class SF-6 2-10-2s, were purchased used from the Hocking Valley Railroad, which itself had gotten them from the Lehigh Valley in 1920 and 1922.

Aside from being considerably larger than the PM's class SF 2-10-2s, these two locomotives were distinctive in having large Wootten fireboxes (designed to use slow-burning anthracite coal) and side-by-side sand domes.

Number 1199 is shown at Plymouth, Michigan in November, 1937.
