Description
I ended up posting this picture for few people who liked trains and to show that I have personally seen the same train engine used in Polar Express movie.
The train passed thru my home town, Roscommon, Michigan few times on some kind of tour.Now excuse me while I go back to my work.
Train fans, enjoy the pics!

Indeed, and they do the same with cars, airplanes and boats also. I'm not one of those kinds of people through...

((The actual name is Pere Marquette 1225. I put the stage name in as a joke.))

Oh, I apologize for not getting the joke. Word plays usually goes over my head because of my deafness.

Children sleeping, snow is softly falling
Dreams are calling like bells in the distance
We were dreamers not so long ago
But one by one we all had to grow up
When it seems the magic's slipped away
We find it all again on Christmas day
Believe in what your heart is saying
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste
There's so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need
If you just believe
Trains move quickly to their journey's end
Destinations are where we begin again
Ships go sailing far across the sea
Trusting starlight to get where they need to be
When it seems that we have lost our way
We find ourselves again on Christmas day
Believe in what your heart is saying
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste
There's so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need
If you just believe
Just believe

Well, this sucks.....
Can you hide the comment, though?

Hmm, that should works.
Maybe as a way to hide a mistake I made...

Perhaps and that's a common goof-up they make.

Train 1225? I like trains (as transportation) and the old ones look awesome. I'd love to be in one of the carriages

Awe...but I hope they can fix it!

Woah, this was really used in that movie? Awesome!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I didn't know that until I found out later. It was lucky that I took pictures because it's so rare for an old engine to be active and pasing thru.

It's certainly not often that anyone would see something like this. I'm glad you actually got some shots of it while it came through your area. That would have been pretty cool to see.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep.

I feel rumbling when general trains pass by. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yep. I just looked it up and found out that they had to park the train engine for maintiance. Apparently, they found some badly rusted parts that needs to be replaced.
