Yesterday morning, we were back to Owosso for a chase of 1225 in the snow. For the rest of the North Pole Express season, 1225 will be wearing 611's whistle. The whistle was used on the 611 while it was in service in the 50s, as well as excursions in the 80s and 90s. It was donated in the early 2000s to spread awareness of the campaign to restore 611, and the restoration was completed in 2015. The first scene was at departure in Owosso. Both whistles were used in this scene. Our next stop on the chase was Wolf Crossing. The train had left Yard Limits, and they had the throttle open. We barely made it to Bannister, but unfortunately, due to some wrong turns and almost slipping off the road, we didn't make it to Ashley. Our chase was still very good despite the conditions, and I'm satisfied. Thank you all for watching.
