Remarks & Notes |
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 movie locomotive 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. On the second day of the charter, the locomotive was turned to face South in what turned out to be beautiful sunlight. The engineer opens the throttle as he brings the consist across Riley Road. |
