I've especially wanted to mention that I personally do perfectly agree that this video definitely has got awesome footage of Pere Marquette #1225 as the real Polar Express as the fine Berkshire type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive chuffs proudly down the line pulling a passenger train!
I've especially wanted to mention that I personally had recently seen another video talking 'bout this fine Berkshire type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive known as Pere Marquette #1225 definitely had been built in the same exact place as Nickel Plate Road #765 known as the American Locomotive Company; which certainly happens to be exactly what we simply call ALCO for short!
Worked that weekend on maintenance crew. We had an absolute blast seeing all the happy families and railfans out to see 1225. Hoping to see just as much enthusiasm for the upcoming 75th anniversary excursion
Now that they have the numberboards (which in some cases were actually used on the 1225 while being on the PM), all they need now is the firebox jacket!
Actually, they were only on after the PM and C&O merged. When 1225 came out of the shops back in 1941, it wasn't until the 50's when she got flying number boards. I personally think the engine looks more authentic without them.
I thought during the mid 40s during the war the N-1s got numberboards as well. I knew they had numberboards on the C&O, but I thought they were installed 2 years prior to the merger. And yes, the bald is actually original to the locomotive, and in some cases looks better than the numberboards.
But also, the huge lettering "Pere Marquette" is not original, either. The font is the same as it was when it rolled out of the shops, but the lettering "Pere Marquette" was a lot smaller on the PM and even into the 1990s and again in 2007-08.
I've especially wanted to mention that I personally just suddenly realizes that there's a diesel-electric locomotive working really hard to push the locomotive's passenger train from behind as well as working really hard to pull the passenger train from the front as the Berkshire type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive pushes the train tender first during the very first trip SINCE a long train of very full passenger coaches can simply be considered to be very heavy including on steep gradients; which certainly would BASICALLY mean a banker definitely will be needed for extra power! I've especially wanted to mention that I personally took notice that there were obviously 2 brake vans coupled to the train behind the last coach as well as directly behind the diesel-electic locomotive!
The 1225 Pere Marquette Steam engine is one of the best train rides ever. I know this because I’ve rode it before, from Chesaning, Michigan to Saint Charles, Michigan.
If 1225 also used white lines on the wheels, boiler, cab, snow plow, and yellow numbers on the number board under the headlight, and a mars light or not, she will become a Nickel Plate Road 2-8-4, like 765
1225 has been in the shop for a while getting her trailing truck rebuilt. When engines are in the shop they don't get the cosmetic attention that you would normally find when they are on the road. Thus, there was probably not enough time to re-graphite the rust on the firebox before the next run. Another example is Southern 630 a few years ago, she was getting firebox work done and had to get out of the shop so quickly they didnt have time to re-graphite the smokebox, thus there was a large rust patch for a while on the Radford excursions
Yup That Locomotive almost got scraped until some guys picked it up for a gift and its not really its name is "the polar express"but its pere marquette
You’re correct. 1225 was built in 1941 by the Lima Locomotive Works. Part of the Pere Marquette’s N-1 series of 2-8-4 Berkshire-type steam locomotives.
Sometimes I think our ancestors were a lot smarter than we give them credit for, just look at the size of moving parts. Listen to the audio it sounds like an animal.

(@ Robloxgirl vlogs ) Not as big as the Union Pacific big boy. The big boy end to end 134 feet roughly. Double the weight almost, now they have it fired up after 60 years of storage for the 4014. Still the 1225 is a treat to see but just wait to see 1 of the big boys that are 6 or 7 remaining in museums. The 4014 is not up for the open public yet, still doing long tests so by 2020 or 2021 we will see it more open to the public. There’s a Museum in Scranton Pennsylvania in steam town where you can find big boy 4012. That’s the one I saw at lest 5 or more years ago.
Rode this a few times, where I live then I went and rode the 765 in Joliet, totally different experience The 765 crew makes 1225 seem like a bunch of amateurs! It’s just too bad 1225 is being operated by unprofessionals who don’t take any pride in their work
They've actually got a lot better than they were. The old crew would never take the engine out and much of their "donations" disappeared. Now the newer group makes an effort to get the engine out

The reason it had number boards before it got the C&O lettering was probably because it didn't get repainted yet.
1225 never got C&O lettering.
That is pretty good stuff I just love it
765 and 1225 have to be my favorite steam locomotives. I live those Berkshires for some reason.

Thats the real polar express train 1225
I like the train because it’s based off of the polar express or the polar Xpress is based off of this train
Its like she doesn't get enough care. Her sister loco NKP 765 has basically no rust on her at all
If you're talking about the firebox, that's just because it doesn't have it's jacket on. 765 probably has just as much, but just doesn't get shown.
1225 has been in the shop for a while getting her trailing truck rebuilt. When engines are in the shop they don't get the cosmetic attention that you would normally find when they are on the road. Thus, there was probably not enough time to re-graphite the rust on the firebox before the next run.

Gamer2natic first of all they aren't sisters, but the NS Steam Program cares more the the Steam Railroading institute does
Well, technically it's not NS that runs 765, it's the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society.
Where exactly did the Train stop at last year before The Diesel pulled it back?
