In fact, the engine’s number “1225” (like December 25) and its recorded chuffing sounds were used in the 2004 movie’s production.

Feat: sheds built by yours truly. Check out the 1225, the train used as a model and “voice actor” in the Polar Express movie. Tickets are available annually to ride the 1225 on weekends during the Christmas season from Owosso, Michigan to the “North Pole” where you can visit with Santa, buy gifts for your loved ones(or disliked ones… I won’t judge), see some freaking awesome sheds I built(obviously this is the main attraction), and much more! Merry Chistmas y’all! #train #1225 #1225steamengine #
