Pere Marquette 1225 Returns to Cadillac

For this video, I felt the sound of the train was sufficient enough in telling the story from 2015's return trip to Cadillac. June 6 was the first time the locomotive had been this far north, making it a trip worth chasing. To start the video off, a few of the Steam Railroading Institute's volunteers shared their story with me about what it's like to work on the big Berkshire.

From an old Pere Marquette in Flint, Michigan family, I thank you for the memories.

Nice to see a main line locomotive without a diesel backup, thanks for posting DIB.

Thanks for taking and sharing this great High-Definition Video without the narration. Just the sounds of the steam locomotive are music enough to all of our ears.

This a classic, one of the best steam videos I've ever seen.

I grew up with the 1225. At 5 years old my father hoisted me into the cab, when the was stored at MSU and before the fence went up.

Some very good steam action.  I like the different views.

[majobis]

I like the views of having a camera mounted on front of the Steamer, it give you a great view and sounds are great from it too. Next time I would a second camera facing the rear seeing the action of all those parts moving and dancing down the rails. When you have the sounds of music from this engine you do not need anything else.

I don't always foam, but when I do, it's because 1225 is running
