I can tell the crew of that CN train were like: “The hell was that!?” “Dunno, I’ve never seen a steam locomotive out here before..” “We can only assume..”
@@thatonecaledonian812 Here is what I think the locomotive lineage is Americans, Ten-wheelers, Atlantics, Pacific's, Hudson's, early Northerns, and Berkshires & Northerns in tandem with each other.
I’d say that the lineage for Polar Express locos would probably have started with a heavy 4-6-0 around the 1890s. It was then likely replaced some time between 1918-1923 by a larger USRA heavy Pacific. After that, the Berkshire was likely acquired in 1931 on commission from the Baldwin Locomotive Works as a copy of the popular Lima design. There were three locomotives of that design that were ordered from Baldwin and a later fourth member of the class from Lima in 1941. The Berkshires were numbered 1222-1226, and were used between 1931 and 1955, when they were then replaced by newer diesel-electric locomotives. After the diesels (a pair of EMD E9 locomotives custom fitted with 6 traction motors) arrived in 1954, the Baldwin Berkshires were slowly phased out of service. By 1960, only 1225 remained in service. The E9 diesels were soon replaced when Amtrak took over with a pair of f40phs. When Amtrak retired the f40phs, they replaced them with a trip of GE P42acs.

Realistically, it should've been a CN steam locomotive since the Polar Express movie takes place in the 1950s.
@@sword3349 But not an EMD SD60, an F7 and a few b-units would be realistic. Minor detail though.
@@sword3349the polar express isn’t grounded in reality. It’s a magic train
@@dillontrainvids25Still takes place in the 1950s
I love this, and merry Christmas.🎄🎁
I’m guessing the models aren’t available, but they are stunning!
I mean
The polar express is a reskinned Pere Marquette berk
And the coaches are… somewhere
Correction, their crescent limited coaches
i know im watching this a bit late but this is amazing.
great job and (late) merry christmas to you
That time before The Polar Express Stops the time between 25 and 26 to pick up the hero boy.
That was Epic to watch!
Very nice bep!
This is perfect pal i feel like you inspired by Charlie Studio but i love it! ITS PERFECT MEDAL FOR YOU! 🏅
Happy Holidays.🎄
You got the time wrong when the Polar Express arrived at the Heroic Boy’s house, it’s 11:55PM not 12:00AM.
I hate to be picky, but when the Polar Express arrived to pick up the Hero Boy, the time was actually 11:55PM
Did You Know That Hero Boy, Hero Girl And Know It All Have Names?
Here’s Their Names:
Hero Boy - Chris
Hero Girl - Holly
Know It All - Lenny
@@LucianoSalazar1776 I didn't know that.
a question where the model of the polar express, locomotive and passenger cars come from
You should bring back the galaxy express 999 video
This would have worked this year with it being the 20th anniversary of the movie and all
What would they use on the Polar Express before the Berkshires were built
Probably mikados or sum older locomotives
@@AydinLevingston-hi9di though I would love a mikado on the polar express, I’d guess they would have Pacific locomotives for speed

Did you use the Crescent Limited coaches?
Yeah, to me the coach set fit the Polar Express very well
@@jayote0 Agreed
What mod is this?
