Sweet! Do you think 1225 will be crossing here again

sometime? What excursion was she on when she crossed

the Flint river???

I would love to get a video of her on a bridge. Awesome!

this was shot back in 2007 it has come north on this route since then but no trips up this line planned that I know of any time soon.

[dreambuilders48808]

What was the route? I have chased her to Clare and also

to Cadillac.Plus South to Hamburg.

[vettestyle]

This was on the HESR line to Saginaw then on to Bay City. The Blue water group I think did a fall color tour train pulled by the 1225 to Grayling a couple of times not sure if they will ever do it again but I do hope so.

[dreambuilders48808]

Thanks for the info. Hopefully they will run that again in

the future.

that is commercial frieght she is hauling

[choochoo1225pm]

Because in the very beggining, she was only a freight hauling engine...

[vettestyle]

She was returning to Owosso after a weekend excursion run. I was told that she preforms better with a load so Rail America had SRI take some loaded grains down to Durand with them.

very nice video that engine sounds damn good with that whistle of the N&W J class 611 much prettier that that one it usually has on it

[vettestyle]

I like both whistles.
