Steam Railroading Institute

The Steam Railroading Institute, dedicated to educating the public about steam-era railroad technology, is the product of the Michigan State Trust for Railway Preservation Inc. For many years, the MSTRP centered on a single steam locomotive, former Pere Marquette Railway No. 1225. After 1225’s retirement, the locomotive was donated to Michigan State University in 1957 by the C&O Railroad with the help of Forest Akers, Dodge Motors, Vice President and MSU Trustee, who saw it as a real piece of machinery for Engineering students to study.  Since the College of Enginnering had no interest, it became part of the MSU Museum Collection.
