Chris Van Allsburg based the locomotive in the book on the Pere Marquette 1225, a 1941 Berkshire N-1 class 2-8-4 locomotive built at the Lima Locomotive Works. He chose this design because he used to play on the locomotive while attending games at the Spartan Stadium in East Lansing, Michigan where it was placed on static display at the time. He was inspired by its number, which is also the date of Christmas. Although the locomotive is based on the Pere Marquette the know it all kids description of it matched that of the Erie railroad S-3 no. 3356 another Berkshire that looked very similar in appearence.
