| AA 1276 was photographed at Owosso, Michigan on September05, 1993. |
Back in September of 1993 I travelled with a group of local railfans to see Pere Marquette 2-8-4 number 1225 under steam at Owosso, Michigan. (See the post “PM 1225” of April 16, 2020 for more on this locomotive.) Viewing live steam is always an event, but I had almost as much interest in checking the back lots for old examples of rolling stock. Today’s photo illustrates one of those finds. Although the car number is somewhat indistinct, it appears to be 1276, which would make it part of the 1200-1399 series, a PS-built product of 1958. These cars, with their 8’ 6-panel doors, were in service until 1983, so apparently this example had been gathering rust for at least ten years before I caught up with it.
