THE LOST ENGINE OF CHRISTMAS | A FILM BY ZACH HALAMA

[@RailsofMichigan]

You know sadly from what i have heard the real 1224 was one of the Berkshires on the Pere Marquette that had a very short operating career compared to most of their other Berkshires.

[@UnionPacificFan-cu3pt]

Excellently done. Pretty good job you did here! The part where 1225 saying he needed to save his North railway is just, right.

[@CamScarJr200]

Loved it man good job also loved the story ark about how 1225 went missing after all that time and how 1224 told every “to believe” ❤

[@JeffreyBowen-l1h]

Pere marquette 1224 and 1225 make a great team.

[@keeyinic9297]

I like how 1225 acts like his other identity is like a superhero alter ego

[@AntonioMolina-we4iy]

1224 & 1225 are like brother,s. I,ll love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@PereMarquete561]

It would be fun to hear 1224 say "Whats with your pilot and what happened to your headlight? "

[@1Korlash]

What a great Christmas short! Always happy to see the Polar Express in these kinds of animations!

[@DaylightProductions2023]

Merry Christmas Zach, amazing video as always

[@ModernLstudios]

@DaylightProductions2023 Merry Christmas!

[@ilikeminecraftgaming9331]

This is so cool!I watched the Polar Express on Saturday with my grandma as part of a tradition we do every year, so this is very fitting!

[@ModernLstudios]

Merry Christmas!

[@ErieRRfan]

This is what we refer to as 'Absolute Cinema'

[@joshbreck3489]

I'd love to see this whole "Missing for 14 years" thing elaborated on more

[@Magicalpickel203]

We need a full series of this

[@CameraManRailFan]

Absolutely amazing work!

[@TheOklahomaHotrail]

@@CameraManRailFan Dispatch i have been kidnapped by a Ex coworker of mine. HELP

[@Karstn-db5iq]

Love the Pere Marquette 1225 and 1224

[@Mad_Waffle_4449]

Is that peak content I smell.

[@Maybe-Crazii]

Beautiful.

[@JeffreyBowen-l1h]

Awesome sauce. I love it.

[@NSWSteamFan]

Strangley enough, this is similar a scrapped idea I was developing when I first set up my KZbin channel in December 2016. Great job overall.

[@ModernLstudios]

@@NSWSteamFan Interesting, I almost scrapped this idea because it all became clear two nights ago. Your content is amazing btw, and thank you!

[@NSWSteamFan]

@ModernLstudiosthanks. But really, Karadale Country pales compared to your short films.

[@Dakota-96]

I was literally just thinking about the 1224 yesterday, great video!!

[@SP4449productions]

Amazing, Just amazing

[@RelytCoyote15]

Dude, the fact I’ve been writing my own spin on the polar express backstory this month lol

[@RedCubeFoundation]

How can the engine talk without a face?

[@DaylightProductions2023]

Talking Train Tech, San Juan Trainz reference

[@ModernLstudios]

What daylight productions said, San Juan Trainz was a show I grew up on so I wanted to make something somewhat similar. I do have my own style for other videos however.

[@WhiteStar1222]

Man this is amazing work man! And I hope you make this into a longer movie like your movie “the last giant” it would be kick ass. Anyways amazing work and cheers to next year’s content!

[@Insect_Expert1489]

How interesting both engines represent 1224 Christmas eve and 1225 Christmas Day

[@AndrewClauto1361]

Great job as always MLS! Should we expect a sequel taking place during his “disappearance over Christmas” or maybe when he is supposed to be scrapped every year?

[@ModernLstudios]

Sequel ;)

[@IronSteelRailroader]

Merry Christmas!

[@LouisianaSoutheasternShortline]

Merry Christmas Zach!

[@ModernLstudios]

@LouisianaSoutheasternShortline merry Christmas!

[@topgunfurry]

Nice

[@MiddletownBranchProd.]

bro leave some cooking for the rest of us 😭😭

[@LBSC70]

Just mysterious and beautiful

[@theroanecountyrailfan9280]

After inspection of 1224 he was found to have a hot bearing on his number 3 driver and a bell that didn't seem to work. We will send it to the police station to see if they can figure out anything about it. Another thing found is that it had been fired recently indicated by much more ash than last checks in its fire grates.

[@lucasquintanilla1673]

Part of me likes to think that perhaps a few years after this event 1224 might have been whisked away by 1225 when it was time to be scrapped

[@nahjustaverage]

If I was 24 I'd probably be freaking out more that I was talking to an engine who went missing for 15 years. I'd be so much less cooperative.

[@jenniferphillips5300]

I want to see a whole movie about 1224 and 1225 doing the polar Express run

[@Valdorxsnowpiercer]

Zach I have a question will you be a another polar express film like this one

[@HighballMachineWorks]

1225: I’m the Polar Express 1224:(screaming like a little girl)WHAT THE FU-

[@Graysonthegreenivatt2MT]

The brothers reunite after 15 years

[@Jupiter283]

nice job

[@JoeysMunchkin]

POLAR LORE LETS GOOOOOOO!

[@TheOklahomaHotrail]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@michaeltischer7195]

Soo dit polar just kidnapped 1224 out of no where. and dit polar brought him to the polar Express railway??

[@ModernLstudios]

He brought him to the polar railway to help him with the polar express. I’ll make a sequel to better explain it.

[@Choochookid7470]

Wait then what happened to 1225 then?

[@aguythatlikestrains4501]

OOOOOOOO

[@aidwild]

firee

[@angelhuerta1626]

At first, I was very very confused about the title something about the lost engine then I wondered who is the lost engine and then I wasn’t expecting to see the polar express talking and I can see why he’s been added because it’s Christmas because he’s the polar Express

[@thefuriousgamer2553]

THIS IS SO FUCKING COOL AHHHHHHHHH I LOVE IT!!!

[@angelhuerta1626]

I’m still confused about this no sense I don’t get

[@aidwild]

[@ModernLstudios]
