This video is of a test run PM 1225 made prior to the 2009 season. Not many people were on hand for this. 1225 pulled its aux tender, crew car, AA caboose, 58 grain cars and a Great Lakes Central Geep. The runs were made up the St. Charles branch. Thanks to Jeff Rayner for shooting this video and Great Lakes Central for allowing runs like this to happen when they had no obligation to.

When the polar express movie came out.People would come to me and tell about it.I would say"You know that a real steam locomotive.They recorded the real locomotive for the moive."People would not belive me.And when they found out the truth.They would have a funny look on their face."You was right but how do you know?"Iwould say "Thats eay when your a train nut."

Its amazing to see how strong steam locomotives really are. This 61 car consist would take two ES44AC locomotives to haul. Yet the 1225 is doing it all by herself. Great video!

@epicswag5509 7 лет назад

It would not take 2 ES44's.

@@epicswag5509 Might take two SD40-2's but two ES44's? Yeah they'll outperform 1225 even at her best. Now 765 and 1225 working together might give two ES44's a run for their money but either one of them alone will definitely get outperformed by two ES44's. Edit: Corrected spelling and added the note.

There would be 2 diesels pulling what one steamer can do... alone

Joseph Ignudo I just gonna stay at the same thing

@ericwood2062 4 года назад

That's because steamers are much heavier and stronger than diesels.

@@ericwood2062 Not necessarily. Have you seen the specs for the SD70ACe-T4? Six motor technology finally managed to best the Big Boy's and Allegheny's tractive effort numbers.

The 1225 was built for freight trains after all.

They should have had the Great Lakes Central diesel behind the aux tender, and placed the caboose at the end of the train.

@gregudolph 4 года назад

Caboose was for the crew to ride in. The diesel was to pull the train back to town as there was no way to get the engine around all the cars. Also, it was a test run, crew only. No one knew it was going to happen.

@Kazick228 11 лет назад

Just in-case of any issues with 1225. They do that with most steam excursions.
