Pere Marquette 1225 is a 2-8-4 (Berkshire) steam locomotive built for the Pere Marquette Railway (PM) by Lima Locomotive Works in Lima, Ohio. 1225 is one of two surviving Pere Marquette 2-8-4 locomotives, the other being 1223 which is on display at the Tri-Cities Historical Society near the ex-Grand Trunk Western (GTW) coaling tower, in Grand Haven, Michigan. Nickel Plate 763 (owned by the Age of Steam Roundhouse) and Nickel Plate 765 (operated by the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society, Inc) are also Lima built Berkshires very similar in appearance and specifications to the Pere Marquette engines. It is perhaps most famous for serving as the basis for the locomotive in the 2004 film, The Polar Express.
