Pere Marquette 1225 Hand On The Throttle 10-29-2017

This is our second last video from the Pere Marquette 1225 this year. Set got Throttle Time with another steam locomotive. Another Berkshire this time the 1225 instead of the "767". This was also shot by Set's Grandfather so some parts might be a little shaky as he is not used to the tripod. But a big Thanks to Jean from the 1225 for getting video in the cab!

It was back in April when the Steam Railroading Institute started releasing the excursion dates the first Hands on the Throttle was the day before the Howell Melon Fest. But set wasn't able to make it because if he wanted time of for Railfest he couldn't go then. But when they announced a second Hand on the Throttle, and saw it was after the Curwood Highlander set bought the ticket as soon as he saw the tickets on sale. Which is why Set's Grandfather tagged along as no one else from the crew could tag along. After having one of the best chases of the year, Set and his Grandfather got up early and arrived at the Steam Railroading Institute. We got some night shots of the 1225 as it approaches the museum. But after Set got in the locomotive, it was absolutely amazing. The crew like 765's was awesome and Jean got video and pictures of me in the cab. Maybe because i like the 1225 better then 765 this experience seemed better! It was the same concept you got to drive the 1225 in the Steam Railroading Institute yard. What made this one memorable was for my last run forward. Set asked Dan the guy who sat behind me and walked me through it if i could turn on the bell switch again for my grandfather as he was filming it. Not only did he tell me yes, he opened the Cylinder coxs as we were approaching my grandfather and instructed Set to blow the whistle as we passed him a final time!

While there isn't much left this year, there still is a few more videos left for 2017. Such as this past weekend when Set went out to Michigan one last time to chase the Pere Marquette 1225.
