A fantastic video of the 2-8-4 Berkshire Pere Marquette 1225 and the Polar Express. The sound of the steam whistle is great, excellently filmed. Thanks for showing it and best regards from Germany
I rode this train with my grandsons back before the COVID crisis...We rode in one of the restored passenger cars and it was an experience I'll cherish forever!
My late father, my son and I got a chance to be up in her cab many years ago when we paid a visit to SRI. They were just starting to fire her up and it was interesting to watch. What a thrill to ring her bell!
This gave me tears, born too late to see the golden years of steam locomotives, but gosh I do look forward to come one day to see it ( I live in France )
Principle photography was completed on a Lumix S5. We have a channel that is all about the gear and the skills/practical application that goes into our work. youtube.com/@everettmeehling?feature=shared
I’d love to see the 1225 come through Columbus Ohio on a excursions from dear born Michigan tthrough Ohio through the month of December if possible I have a nephew who loves the polar express and plus the. Polar express was my all time favorite Christmas book to read around the calendar Just respectfully asking if sometime you could come through Ohio excursion please and thank you but I know that you have other things, and it’ll take some time for your steam crew to plan this out if possible ps please and thank you
Considering they use the cars for more than just Polar Express trains, thatd be an extrordinarily expensive task thatd raise their rates sky high, painting it all, and having to paint it all again before the next non-Christmas trip.
@@DynamoProductions-trains well like they could preserve the cars, not paint the cars they use in their excursions today, like use some coaches, and make an observation car like in the movie.
Spot on video I’m glad to have the 1225 back in service I have to admit her whistle sounds a lot better than it did back in the 1990s when it was air valve controlled I think that was because the whistle was cracked correct me if I am wrong I don’t know the whole story behind that honestly

There is something so magical about steam trains it’s like living history
O. Winston Link would love your night scenes. They are rich!
Man, sure makes me happy to see 1225 sounding so happy and healthy again. Well done FMW & SRI Crew!!! 🔥
Meanwhile, in the cab:
"Jumpin' Jeepers, the cotter pin sheared off!"
1:20 how did you mount that camera? What kind is it? Did you have to ask permission?
That’s a mounted GoPro, and yes we do ask permission ahead of time
@@DynamoProductions-trains what kind of mount do you use? Do you just ask the engineers?
Love the scene of pere Marquette
2:14-2:40
I wish to see more of that on ride alongs
That whistle. 😊

Seeing 1225 back in action puts a smile on my face😃
The Polar Express is back!
A beautiful video!
Thanks
Their beautiful Pere Marquette 1225 the Real Polar Express.
I always like the real locomotive to the Polar Express.
Incredible footage. It was nice to meet you in Ashley the day we rode the train. New subscriber. Looking forward to more videos.
Glad you enjoyed. More videos are coming all year

Great video of 1225. And merry Christmas to everyone behind the scenes with dynamo productions who made this possible.
Glad you enjoyed
BEAUTIFUL μπράβο.

There she is the Movie star!
Her headlight is now a dual-beam, now you can’t unsee it 😉
More Dynamo Greatness. Love those Berkshires.
I am the elf you met great video guys
Incredible footage! What type of camera was used for this production?

Merry Christmas great film
Dynamo productions question is it OK if I use some of this footage I’ll credit you :D
None of the interview footage, and the rest depends on the amount used and context it is used in, can you be more specific?
@@DynamoProductions-trains any of the pieces of 1225 going by like crossings and some maybe some night shots
@@MatthewTheRBXMan A few (2-8) seconds is fine, not entire shots.
Эти паровозы должны жить,работать и радовать людей. Молодцы все,кто его восстановил и работает на нем. Об шикарен и могуч❤💪💪💪💪💪
The chugging was used for the footsteps of The Iron Giant.

1225 is already scheduled for all of December to run out of Owosso to Ashley for the North Pole trips.
Polar express ❤
Did you know that the p.e. Number 1225 stands for: 12-: month of Christmas. -25: day of Christmas. Put em together, 1225!
I wish they never switched out the headlight bulb and kept with the old style
They switch it out all the time
This Christmas they should customize some passengers cars into the ones from the Polar Express and that would make the train look more Authentic!
