2:28 Ahh, one of my favorite sounds in the world! A steam locomotive chugging at high speed! I can’t explain the sheer joy I feel from hearing that sound coming down the track!
This is one of the best railfan videos I have ever seen. The cinematography, the audio, the staging of the truck at the crossings. Having graduated from film school at NYU I see so many clear elements that I was taught being executed flawlessly. Well done to the crew on this job, I only wish I had been there haha
Incredible Winter Steam..... BEEEYOOTIFUUL VIDEO!! Two pretty "Tough Ponies" the 1225 and the Chevy Pickup!! (Brings back lotsa memories, as a teen I once owned a '49 GMC--tough as a Tank!)
I have personally been on this train about three years ago and it was one of the best experiences in my life it was amazing to see something like that especially because I’m only 16 and that’s something I probably won’t see a lot more of. I love collecting Lionell trains and I love especially steam trains I just think they’re so cool if you ever get the chance to take a ride on this beautiful Ironhorse I recommend you do so
Awesome video man I’m glad she’s still running I’m loving the whistle on her it’s good she’s still running I hate seeing her on display she’s awesome under steam ♥️♥️♥️♥️
You are a very good photographer I love all these low shots that you do they look awesome we see all the valve gear and the undercarriage of the train and a different perspective really enjoyed the video and loved the lack of music some of these railfan videos get annoying with music I watch a steam locomotive locomotives video to listen to a steam locomotive thank you very enjoyable video keep up the great work peace out have a great day
This question goes out to those who are up to date on the PM 1225. What is her current (as I make this comment) whistle? I plan on adding sound to my model version of her and want to know which one to use. If it isn’t on the decoder I’m just gonna throw my go to whistle on her.
Noticing the valve events in this video are more even than they have been in past videos. Have the valve events (admission, cut off, release, compression) been re - timed? Also sounds like they were running a lot in full forward gear, rather than "hooking up" and using steam expansively.

you can ride for free and join the fun if you just say yes, 'cause that's the way things happen on the polar express!
@@penguinmaster7 whoo whoo, the whistle blows, that's the sound of her singing! Ding ding the bell will ring, golly look at her go!
You wonder if we'll get there soon, anybody's guess, 'cause that's the way things happen on the Polar Express!
Flying through the mountains and the snow*
LIGHTS ARE GLEEMING FAR ACROSS THE SNOW YOUR NOT DREAMING MAY I PRESENT THE NORTH POLE!

This has to be one of the most impressive videos featuring 1225 I've seen in a while. Thank you for doing this.
Such a beautiful engine! 🚂
Excellent work! Great cinematography! You definitely did the 1225 justice here! I am astonished this doesn't have more views... WOW!

This sound is so amazing, like a race horse on its best lab!
It’s really cool to see 1225 pulling a set of matching coaches in that color scheme
@@emeriomanzano5015 where can we even get any Heavyweight coaches that are still in working order
Very nice video! I love the cinematic feel you were able to create. Well done.
I’m a Huge fan
Saa was
My one year old daughter left the previous comment, she loves steam engine 1225. It’s the only one she will watch
M
Mike Armstrong I am a big fan of you I can’t believe you watch this video to
That is the best looking train in the world, and will always be my personal favorite!
Been in love since the Polar Express. It doesn't get better than this!
You can feel the chill in the air and the heat coming off that beast.
Great video! The makers were able to take the viewer back in time, to a place that lives within every rail fan’s heart.
Me and my little cousin who both like trains and The Polar Express were watching this together and we both absolutely love it. Keep up the great work!
This is my favorite Berkshire that still operates. Sounds beautiful and looks magnificent with the coaches that match its road.
Incredible Winter Steam..... BEEEYOOTIFUUL VIDEO!! Two pretty "Tough Ponies" the 1225 and the Chevy Pickup!! (Brings back lotsa memories, as a teen I once owned a '49 GMC--tough as a Tank!)
I love the on train footage. 10:33 is my favorite shot.
Cullen Tabaczynski p
That's pretty nice.
Idk why but it really feels like footage that whould have been taken from the PE
Oh yeah, this is definitely going on my bucket list...
Such a beautiful locomotive, probably one of my favorites. Nice video! Really awesome shots in this!

This proves the Berkshires really would've made fine passenger engines as well as freight engines!
Great video! This really brought us to the event, spectacular show!
Great stuff Chad! Love the in cab shots of the engineer and his silhouette.
Man I really really really wanna ride on this immaculate piece of history. Great video was like a kid again watching this
Dude those shots that you took from the ground were amazing! These are some of the best steam videos I’ve ever watched! Good job man, keep it up!
11:04 could be a Christmas card circa 1952. Beautiful
Ironic since Polar Express takes place around that time.
@@ncopictures7182 This is also the same model of train
i love the Pere Marquette 1225😀😁😄😃❤🖤💜💚🧡🧡💜💙💙💙💙
Fantastic. These really do a great job recreating the past.
Awesome shots! Really cool to see the engine working hard and love the visuals of each setting.
Superb video production both in filming, editing foregrounds, backgrounds and train interiors etc. A lot of effort went into this. Well done.
Awesome video man I’m glad she’s still running I’m loving the whistle on her it’s good she’s still running I hate seeing her on display she’s awesome under steam ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Downright beautiful!
Such nice shots... my favorites are in the cab, and on the roof, though the run by shots come verrrrrrrry close.
You are a very good photographer I love all these low shots that you do they look awesome we see all the valve gear and the undercarriage of the train and a different perspective really enjoyed the video and loved the lack of music some of these railfan videos get annoying with music I watch a steam locomotive locomotives video to listen to a steam locomotive thank you very enjoyable video keep up the great work peace out have a great day
Great sound great views .... Love it!
Quite a solid way to start off the Steam Season of 2019!
I'm gonna get Pere Marquette for Christmas
Wow this is Very Big Steam Train
Yeah PM 1225 was built by Lima locomotive works in 1941
How are people getting cab rides?
"Seeing is believing, but, sometimes, the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."
Hey! Thanks for the ride! 😊.
The lady of a Michigan. Thanks for uploading this Chad! This is fantastic!
(I know your name from rrpicturearchives)....
I love the Pere Marquette 2-8-4 1225 steam Locomotive
1:34 It looks like the Polar Express ice scene but it's on the track
TRACKS. DEAD AHEAD! Lol
@@lsx7177 PORT ASTERN!!!
TO THE STARBOARD!
I like the Pere Marquette 1225 😁
This is the polar express
Thank you Blue Comet. The Pere Marquette 1225 it's back in to action on Michigan.
Awesome video the shots are really nice
Pere Marquette 1225 my favorite train!
It's because it's based of the Polar Express
Look at you gettin' them cab rides! Nice work, Chad. I'm sure the cold was worth it.
Spectacular footage! What a beautiful train she is.😍
Great! I would really love to go see it someday.
Beautiful Vid! Well Done! Exciting. Diverse.
This Is The Polar Express!
Impressive shots!
This video going in my fav train seens bucket for sure!!!
Really great video!
Great work, as always
It was a wonderful train🌟
I hope this engine never stops running don't you agree
Wow it’s photogenic
Me: Trains are beautiful.
Trains: Thank you.
2:20 I love how she's sounds like a horse running
Nice video 😀😀😀
This is my 3rd favorite steam locomotive (UP's Big Boy and Challenger are Numbers 1 and 2, respectively).
I love the Pere Marquette 1225 The Real Polar Express I wish I can see her in real life
Steam Railroad Institute, Google it, & try to arrange a trip to see it. It IS worth it!
I love how all of the passenger cars are all the same. Just like the PE. But no observation car.
I don't think the Steam Railroading institute has an observation coach
The REAL Polar Express!
The real polar express
meanwhile inside the passenger carts:
*kids singing polar express*
The polar Express ❤️
This question goes out to those who are up to date on the PM 1225. What is her current (as I make this comment) whistle? I plan on adding sound to my model version of her and want to know which one to use. If it isn’t on the decoder I’m just gonna throw my go to whistle on her.
That amazing!
This puts a lump in my throat.
Oh yes.. The Polar Express.. ALL ABOOOOOOARDDD
Would love to see a Steam Extravaganza event at the Steam Railroading Institute with 765, 1225, 611, 425 and 1551 in the future, that'll be awesome!
Easier said than done
Me tooooo!!
Noticing the valve events in this video are more even than they have been in past videos. Have the valve events (admission, cut off, release, compression) been re - timed? Also sounds like they were running a lot in full forward gear, rather than "hooking up" and using steam expansively.
Well done. What type of video camera do you use?
Hot! Hot! Oh We Got it! Hot! Hot! Yeah We Got It! Hot! Hot! Yo We Got It! HOT CHOCOLATE!
That Was The Polar Express Song
Very Nicely Done!
Since this is the same loco from polar express the number 1225 could mean december 25th
As had been pointed out:. this IS the Polar Express!
All aboard!!!
That locomotive is just as loud as its whistle
Did they intentionally make the locomotive dirty for the photo charter, or was it just like that already?
Buynot it was intentional, usually they keep it as clean as they can
She's starting to look like she might be in need of a repainting in my eyes. But definitely a great start of the year for SRI!
I hope you guys can get some nice western footage some time. 4449 would look great through your cameras!
The Polar Express
It looks cool from the side
I love the pere marquette locomotive its the real polar express so why not
This is the polar express on its regular job
What's with the green pickup at almost every crossing
i think he is also taking pictures as well with them.
You should check out the Crossroads Village and Huckleberry Railroad in Flint, Michigan
was this actually recording in 2019?
January 12th and 13th, 2019
How do you know when they do these types of things?
Google the Steam Railroad Institute & get signed up to get notifications
I'm a steam train lover, and I have a question. Is this smoke coming from the train bad for the environment?
The smoke, yes. The steam is not.
Google COALITION for SUSTAINABLE STEAM RAILROADING, the group is committed to keeping steam alive, sustainably, even into a carbon-free future!
10:25, what’s with that car? Idk why it’s everywhere.
would it be possible to sell tour tickets ?? That would help pay for the care and feeding of this beast
6:42
I think it would be cool if they paint some passenger cars in the Polar Express paint scheme to match the locomotive
Isn't she beautiful!!! ❤️
