Rain, sleet or snow . . . .

In this video the Steam Railroading Institute's Pere Marquette 1225 is heading west as it crosses South Shiawassee Street (M-52) in Owosso, Michigan, on a Saturday morning in early December 2008.

  • what a whistle! what kind is it?

  • Hello pdxsteam - I don't know the name of the whistle, but I believe it's the original whistle for the locomotive. However, it's been recently replaced with what they call the "611" whistle, which is deeper-sounding.

  • damn to much wind noise

  • You're right, Randy, but it was a really cold and very windy morning. I think I now know how to block some for the next time.

  • That's a really great shot of the 1225 in cold winter conditions. Too bad that these modern day video cameras have absolutely no wind-screen to protect against all that wind noise.

  • Hey EssChee, I've thought about that wind noise problem, too. Maybe put some cotton over the mike. I don't know, but may try it.

  • Jonas and his grandma love your movies!! Thank you!

  • red light means "duhrurmguarhuhrum"? i mean really?

  • @pdxsteam The whistle sounds like either a 5 or 6 chime and it's off of CNR 5588, a royal hudson or pacific.

  • @shafferfox Check out my comment to pdxsteam. It will tell you the correct answer.

  • @pdxsteam No it's not the original one. Look at a video called Pere Marquette 1225 Shepard, MI. That's her real whistle. The whistle she's blowing in this video is off of CNR 5588. A steamer that is trying to get restored.

  • does that Beauty run across country any?

  • What a gorgeous classic video!

    Simply beautiful.
