First run in almost 2 years for the Pere Marquette 1225 Polar Express train out of Owosso Michigan. Due to Covid they never ran in 2020. Here they Roll North in Carland Michigan along King Rd. in farmland. They will go to Ashley Michigan and then get pulled back to Owosso later in the afternoon.
The Van Swearingen Brothers standarized freight power for their railroads with nearly identical 2-8-4 Berkshires. Two of these engines are still in excursion service.
