🚂 The iconic train in The Polar Express movie has a real-life Michigan connection. The film’s locomotive was modeled on the Pere Marquette 1225, a historic steam engine from Owosso, Michigan. In fact, the engine’s number “1225” (like December 25) and its recorded chuffing sounds were used in the 2004 movie’s production. Did you know the Polar Express train actually exists in Michigan? #polarexpress #polarexpresstrain #peremarquette1225 #peremarquette #grandrapidsmi | Welcome Home History
