PERE MARQUETTE #1225 BERKSHIRE (NO TENDER) MAY 2010
 |
| In 2004, #1225 became known worldwide as the Berkshire locomotive featured in the instant- classic Christmas film, The Polar Express. More than inspiration, blueprints of the ex-Pere Marquette steam engine and tender were used as prototypes for the animated locomotive's design elements, and actual sounds of the #1225 were utilized in the film. Additionally, to the delight of the public, the actual #1225 operated on excursions in 2004 with the Pere Marquette tender repainted "Polar Express".
