The Legendary 1225 Engine
The Pere Marquette 1225, known famously as the Polar Express, is a 2-8-4 Berkshire-type steam locomotive built in 1941 by the Lima Locomotive Works. This engine served as a vital part of the war effort during World War II, hauling freight across the Midwest. After the war, it continued its service until it was retired in the 1950s.
The 1225 was eventually donated to Michigan State University, where it was displayed for several years. In the 1980s, a group of dedicated volunteers began the arduous task of restoring the locomotive to its former glory. After years of hard work, the 1225 roared back to life and found a new home with the Steam Railroading Institute in Owosso, Michigan.
Today, the 1225 is celebrated not only for its historical significance but also for its starring role in the beloved Christmas classic, "The Polar Express." The engine's distinctive whistle and powerful presence make it a cherished piece of living history, bringing joy to all who experience its magic.
Atlas and Dad’s Magical North Pole Adventure
Atlas and her dad had the time of their lives on this unforgettable trip. The journey began aboard the 1225, where they sipped on delicious hot chocolate while enjoying the scenic winter landscapes. Upon arriving at the North Pole, they were greeted by cheerful elves and a festive atmosphere that captured the essence of Christmas magic.
They spent the day playing fun-filled games and making beautiful holiday-themed art. Atlas and her dad even got to bake cookies with Mrs. Claus, adding a sweet touch to their adventure. The pinnacle of their journey was meeting Santa Claus himself. Santa listened to Atlas’s Christmas wishes, and they took memorable photos together. It was a day filled with joy, laughter, and the true spirit of Christmas, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
