The Pere Marquette 1225 locomotive has returned to operation after a lengthy running gear overhaul. I found the famous 2-8-4 at the head end of the The North Pole Express on November 19, 2023, Running between Owosso and Ashley Michigan. Various characters including the Grinch, and the Hobo from the Polar Express could be seen along the chase. I was able to film the train running back to Owosso with the diesel leading, which will be featured in my next video.
This is the last steam related video for the year, but stay tuned for 2024. I hope to improve my editing and production quality by leaps and bounds, as well as plans to travel and hopefully chase down a Union Pacific Big Boy (UP 4014) along with CPR 2816, WMSR 1309, The Cass Scenic Railroad's shay locomotives, and possibly more!

2:42 Love the Grinch just standing there like ‘really? The Polar Express? Don’t you remember, I hate Christmas?’ And then just slowly waving at the train

8:35 The dual beam headlight isn't the only thing I have noticed! I've also noticed that the 1225's leading, trailing, and Tender trucks were equipped with Roller Bearings!

'Just a question here...(and I should know this...), but what's the exact mileage does the '25 run one way. Are there run-by's, etc.? I'm guessing about 25-30 miles and it's a GRAND show, but I'm looking at your ticket prices and YIKES !!! (Which I get), it's a little too rich for my blood. TOO bad though as you could possibly hook-up on the GTW's Holly Sub at Durand and perhaps run periodic trips to Milwaukee Jct. in Detroit and back. Problem being though is there's a ZERO way to turn the locomotive, (now a days), which would call for using the diamond and do a back and forth move over existing / former NYC and CP,, DT&I etc. trackage. I don't see that happening anytime soon. That's STILL called A SERIOUSLY-BUSY INTERSECTION? But isn't there a"WYE" North of Detroit where this could happen? Probably not and I digress.

perhaps someone can shed some light on a couple of things, The cabooses on the front instead of the the back. and why 2 diesels?

@thebrantfordrailfan 8 месяцев назад

The cabooses are for passengers I believe. And the diesel is there to lead the train back to Owosso from Ashley, because there is no turntable or runaround for the 1225 to use.
