Take a ride on Pere Marquette 1225 "The REAL Polar Express" to the Village of Ashley's Country Christmas. This GoPro footage was filmed on December 20th during the final North Pole Express Trip.
last summer I was in my car on bellows street in Mt pleasant and I was waiting for the train to go across the crossing. the Pere Marquette 1225 was doing its summer run. I love that engine and that old whistle so much that when the 1225 was coming over the street I had to honk my horn and signal to the engineer to get him to blow the whistle for me one more time
I was lagit singing the polar express song by tom hanks when she began to go faster on the rails I have never felt so much nostaliga before in my life. :_)
My adrenaline rises whenever I here a big locomotive like 1225 accelerate. Something about steam locomotives makes me feel alive. I need to go up to Michigan sometime to ride it myself
