What a beauty. Glad engines like these still run and do what they were bred to do. Fabulously at that too.

i see hold this please!

[@AussieChristophe27]

Now they just need the Polar Express consist! 4+ heavyweight coaches and observation car in the distinctive blue with red stripe paint scheme.

[@jacobwoods8738]

AussieChristophe27 that would require licensing to do such, as well as fresh paint which costs upwards of $3,000 each car.

Don’t forget the troupe of dancing hot chocolate waiters!

Chandler Burns I believe they used to, until Rail Events got big on only with their rights and turned 100% profit motivated.

No because of copyright

[@lelouchstrife1891]

this train still going i hope so

[@Skullboy08]

No virus problem

[@NationalGuard5]

hehe. They should've used a Lima 5 chime whistle instead, but I'm not complaining. Great engine.

[@firstnamelastname3841]

What type of whistle is that?

[@Midwestrailexcursions]

I believe it's a Nathan 6-Chime.

[@zepp2582]

Midwest Rail Excursions no it’s a cracked lime 5 chime

[@loganwright8430]

It’s the Pete Marquette 1225 steam whistle.

[@EngineerDaylight]

​​@@zepp2582 Sir, please do some research. 1225s whistle was and always will be a *NATHAN 6* Chime. 1225s Nathan 6 was not used in the Polar Express, Sierra Ry 4-6-0 #3s Lima 5 was. OML🤦‍♂️this gets tiring having to repeat myself.

[@Midwestrailexcursions]

Hi Gabriella, Pere Marquette 1225, the locomotive in this video, was one of the inspirations for the locomotive in Chris Van Allsburg's book The Polar Express. He played on this exact engine as a child while attending Michigan State University Football games. In addition to inspiring the train in the book, it also provided the sounds and served as an animation reference in the movie, The Polar Express. If you're looking for a Holiday Train Ride that stays true to the book and movie, I can assure you this is the best one around! Not only are you riding behind the REAL Polar Express, but there is also a fantastic group of volunteers that work on the train. More information can be found at www.MichiganSteamTrain.com. Thanks!
