Keep posting photos of those Berkshire locos.
It's the inspiration I need to finish the HobbyLine/Simms Berkshire project sitting on the back burner.

Actually, the Polar Express uses the same number as the locomotive in real life. Take a look.
Oddly enough, the real 1225 has the same number and colors as the Polar Express 1225 so you can pretty much say that the locomotive in the picture above is the real Polar Express.

Still more oddly, Pere Marquette didn't use that engine in passenger service and it was not equipped for things like steam heat. Interesting choice for a train to the North Pole. Brrrr!
