Once upon a time ago, this farm witnessed steam locomotives passing daily. Now it is a more uncommon site and only happens when Steam Railroading Institute runs their 2-8-4 Berkshire, 1225. Pere Marquette #1225 was built in 1941 by the Lima Locomotive Works in Lima, Ohio. This locomotive was the very same engine that the Polar Express book and movie location was based on. Today the locomotive is owned and operated by the Steam Railroading Institute in Owosso, Michigan. In January 2019 Pete Lerro ran a photo charter with 1225 and a matching passenger consist.
