Great video, thanks, I have been watching the live railcam at Owosso but unfortunately their camera is mounted in a spot where you can't ever get a good look at the engine, that defeats the purpose of it, I suggested they move it but they don't seem to get it, we are steam locomotive enthusiast- not passenger car enthusiast, oh well , thanks for giving us a real view of the locomotive 🙏👍💎
Pere Marquette #1225 moving under her own steam for the first time since mechanical repair work. WB Pere Marquette #1225. We chase her as she makes her maiden run for North Pole Express 2023.
Great to see her back I’m also very happy that they didn’t convert her to oil u though I had heard thstvsomewhere but I’m glad it’s not true. Thank you fir sharing.
This would be nice if the FRA 1572 inspection is only what has it been inspected already. But anyways, great coverage of the event! I unfortunately won’t be up there this year, but I’m looking to see it next year
Thanks for the video. Was waiting years to take the kids. Was worth the wait. You can barely see us on the right twice. We were in the shot backing up and stopped.
Now, since 1225 is out of the shop for awhile, perhaps we can get ex- GTW 5632 in there for either a cosmetic or total re-build. (Oh, and anybody our there have 1-2 M they're not using?)
Someone needs to take a 30-30 to those shitty e-bells at the crossings. Engine looks and sounds absolutely fantastic! What whistle is that? 5 or 6 chime?
I believe the valve timing was adjusted when SRI was re-assembling her valve gear towards the end of the running gear overhaul. That allowed for her exhaust to have a more steady "on beat" chuff vs. how it sounded before
@@mrtrainmaster8007 that's a good one, but I like the all-Berkshire tripleheader (#1225, #2716 and #765) better, for several reasons. One is that all three were built by Lima, and all three were designed and operated by the railroads associated with the Van Sweringen brothers of Cleveland.
