Was that intentional or just a happy coincidence (1225)?

Does anyone know why the engine in the movie hasn't got the number 1225? As I remember, it had no number at all.

Its possible that the number was omitted because it appears that there was no locomotive number in the original illustrations of the children's book "The Polar Express", however if you notice all the tickets are numbered 1225

Intentional. The author grew up in Michigan, and saw PM Berks as a child.

I was wondering more about the engine number as opposed to make and model. I thought I saw the loco numbered 1225 in the movie but I'd have to see it again to be sure.

They came out to California when making the movie they took imsages of the Santa Fe 3751 to fill in some of the images missing on their PM 1225.
