North Pole Express 2015: PM 1225 Highballs Northbound

It was that time of year again for the Steam Railroading Institute to operate their ever so popular, yet extremely busy North Pole Express. "Polar Express" famed Pere Marquette 1225 was called to duty as it led the sold out trains from its hometown in Owosso to the holiday themed village of Ashley.
Midwest Zephyr Media was there on selected days to chase the North Pole Express as it raced northward. Although the lack of snow was unfortunate, the weather during the afternoon runs was unusually perfect during this time of year.

What was that whistle blown on 1225 in this video

[@mattdotsonrailfanproductio266]

Southwest Air Fanimations I hear it was a southern 3 chime. But I’m not sure

[@kaseyleitchnextgen3281]

But in the first shot, it sounds its typical 6 chime whistle. The other whistle’s obviously a guest whistle.@@mattdotsonrailfanproductio266
