Pere Marquette 1225 is a steam locomotive built in 1941 by the Lima Locomotive Works in Lima, Ohio. The locomotive has a 2-8-4 Berkshire wheel arrangement and was intended for both passenger and freight service on the Pere Marquette Railroad in Michigan. 1225 was also the basis for the train depicted in the book The Polar Express. Today, the locomotive is kept in Owosso, Michigan and maintained by the Steam Railroading Institute. In this video, we will see the 1225 on s special winter photography charter out of Owosso, put on by Lerro Productions. The locomotive pulls a matched set of passenger cars painted in the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad scheme. The cold winter weather allowed the locomotive to produce large, dramatic clouds of steam as it thundered through the Michigan countryside. For more on the 1225: www. michigansteamtrain. com

There are few things more beautiful to a railfan than seeing a dirty steam locomotive pulling a matching set of passenger cars at track speed.
Seriously, I absolutely love how they let 1225 get a little dirty for this shoot, it really does feel like watching Berkshires in their prime - even the landscape and buildings along the line look exactly like the routes that these Berkshires used to roam on the PM and NKP.

When I was little (7-11) years old I was outside with my cousin (8-12) at night and we heard a steam train wistle and the steam train drove by on a abandoned train track. It was so scary becouse we never saw a steam train in real life
