Pere Marquette 1225 is back in steam for the start of summer in Michigan! As part of the Arsenal of Freedom celebration weekend, there was the Freedom Flyer excursion running from Owosso to Ashley. The Village of Ashley was hosting a vintage baseball game along with food and ice cream stands, classic cars and music. PM 1225 took the lead for the run to Ashley, with PNLX 57 hauling the 4 car train back to Owosso. The chase was relatively tame and thankfully I didn't encounter any crazy drivers lol. This was my first time seeing 1225 operating outside of winter, so it was a nice change of pace. Thank you to the Steam Railroading Institute and the Village of Ashley for putting on this eventful weekend!

Ohhhh, so thiiis is what the Polar Express does in it's spare time outside of the Christmas season. It takes baseball fans to a baseball game! Jokes aside, another amazing outing for the 1225 all captured in amazing shots all the way through!

Sometime between 1993 and 1996, when I was between 16 and 19 years old, I saw this locomotive out on the CSX tracks in Westland, MI that crossed Hix Road. I immediately went home and grabbed my dad and we sped off to Plymouth Yard to see it pass. Then we saw it again at Steam Fest in Owasso, MI though it wasnt operating. Saw NP 765 as well as SP 1449 with a sky-top observation car. Plus a beautiful new-build 4-4-0. Great memories.

Pere Marquette 1225 is another beautiful steam locomotive. I hope to see this beautiful steam locomotive over by December of this year on the Christmas week, it’s one of my favorite steam locomotives as I said before. Since it appeared in the famous Christmas movie Polar Express (From 2004), which I was born on the same year it was released and had watched it during my childhood. It’s one of my favorite train movies, one of my favorite movies, and one of my favorite Christmas movies. This year will also Mark the 20th anniversary of the locomotive’s appearance in the movie, as well as the movie itself too.

Oh yeah, the basis of the steam locomotive in The Polar Express Christmas movie! The Pere Marquette 2-8-4 #1225 is one of my all-time favorite Berkshire engines. Nice whistle and bell sounds! Excellent footage!

She's back at it again. Pulling excursions for the summer. PM #1225 doesn't just pull the North Pole Express. It also pulls other excursions. In one shot you can see MSTX #1155 a former CN SW1200RS donated to them by Consumers Energy back in December 2023. Wow

*”This is a POLAR Express!”* well that ain’t something grand; 2:03 | there’s a pickup with a “1225” and with a large American flag. And cool; a display of classic cars; muscles; sedans, and one that my dad uses to see when he was young in the 1970’s and 80’s.
