1:47 Hero Girl having her confidence shaken every so often when Hero Boy askes "Are you sure?" Is one of my favorite plot lines. The little motifs that plays too when he askes to ascertain her certainty. Having confidence is something important to have in being a leader and when she finally says absolutely, she isn't shaken by it anymore. There is always something new I can appreciate in this great movie.

fun fact the "steam whistle" used in the polar express is based off the steam whistle from Sierra railways no.3's whistle. in reality Pere Marquette 1225 has a Nathan 6 chime steam whistle. also the other differences I've noticed is that in the movie the whistle is on the Engineer's side when in reality the whistle should only be located on the Fireman's side. also in realty the whistle is the movie is completely vertical when it should be facing the back of the steam dome. also in reality Pere Marquette 1225 has both a whistle pull chord and a whistle valve. there's also a whistle pull cord on the Fireman's side. but in the Movie there's only one whistle pull chord on the Engineer's side

(This is actually incorrect, See Kitsune's comment below) For those who are wondering, The big red level is the Reverser. A layman term would be your gear selector in your car. Steam locomotives have 3 settings there, Forward, Neutral, and Reverse. If he yanked it, it would have stopped the train too, but might have caused severe damage to the locomotive. It was used to stop trains as a last resort before air brakes were fitted to trains, called "Dynamiting the engine". It was less common by the time of the Polar Express, as air brakes would always be faster then reversing with wheel slip. Edit: Grammer and spelling, proof-reading on a phone is hard.

The engineer can be seen operating a different lever that's closer to the window as the reverser when they're on the lake (the same lever can be seen barely off to the side in this scene pushed slightly forward, corresponding to forward with a short cutoff for higher efficiency/"high gear") The lever that was closer to the center of the cab that the hero boy was gesturing to was probably the damper that regulates the airflow into the underside of the firebox (there are times where you want to restrict the oxygen supply so the fuel can last longer when you aren't using all your steam) Besides, the reverser wouldn't have been in a completely vertical position (neutral) at speed Edit: Typo

You guys are aware that He applied the automatic brake to "release" not "emergency" for those Who don't understand if The Boy wanted to apply the automatic brake into emergency. He should've moved the automatic brake all the way to the right. Moving the automatic brake to the left is actually the "release position" remember that Pere Marquette 1225 has a 6et later known as an a1 air brake equipment where She has a g6 automatic brake this Means the Engineer has *5* positions which involve "release" "running" "lap" "service" and "emergency" when the automatic brake is moved to the left the automatic brake is in "release" which is used to recharge the brake pipe at a high speed and when the Engineer moves the automatic brake to a bump. The automatic brake is in "running" which connects the main reservoir via feed valves to let the brake pipe recharge at a slow speed but is an important position because if the automatic brake is in release for a long time. All that 130 psi from the main reservoir will then enter the brake pipe which is why the Engineer will typically leave it in running. Then there's a giant bump where You have 'lap' and that holds the pressure on the brake pipe. so when the Engineer makes a reduction on the automatic brake which at this point. He moves it to service and makes a reduction on the brake pipe and once He finishes making a reduction on the automatic brake He can move back to lap and after service comes Emergency which starts to dynamite the train the additional feature in between running and lap is "engine hold and that releases the air brakes on the cars but not on the set on the independent brake

It took me until just a few years ago what it actually was supposed to be: _a headlight. _*_The light was mimicking the headlight of another train._* When I realized that, it all clicked for me. Of course Steamer(btw, that's actually his name, and the fireman was named Smokey) was so desperate to stop the train! As far as he knew, they were headed straight for a head-on collision. Honestly helps now with adding tension, even if I know what the danger really is now.

At this point, Hero Boy had been involved in two seperate incidents that made the Conductor's life difficult, namely pulling the emergency brake (even though the Conductor acknowledged that was just to let Billy board) and losing Hero Girl's ticket (which to his knowledge, has not been found). So he perhaps had him down as a bit of a troublemaker by now. Perhaps he also thought that it can't be any coincidence that the same kid who pulled the emergency brake is the one who's now in the cab after a sudden and rather violent stop and thereby risking him arriving late, even though both times he acknowledges Hero Boy's reasons for stopping the train were, after all, valid. I do like the touch that when Hero Boy slides off Santa's giant sack following getting lost at the North Pole, the Conductor simply says "cutting it kind of close, aren't we?", acknowledging this isn't the first time (but rather the fourth) that Hero Boy has, albeit unintentionally, caused him trouble. Perhaps worth noting that the Conductor's concerns about running late aren't entirely valid given that between the train reaching Hero Boy's house and the sack hitting the sleigh, it's always 11:55pm. Maybe the Conductor has a different view of time than the rest of the kids - he is magic after all.

the reason why the Conductor accused the Boy for stopping the train from reaching the north pole is because when the train arrived at Billy's house. the Conductor asked Him if He wanted to get on the train at first He didn't want to but as soon as the train started moving. He made up His mind and tried to get on the train. but the train was already moving to fast that He slipped and fell so The Boy Who saw Him applied the emergency brake and when the train stopped the Conductor was Mad but then the Girl told Him. He only tried to stop the train so Billy could get on the train

in the movie it shows the Boy stopping the train but in reality the automatic brake would be in "release" not "emergency" in reality when the Engineer sets the automatic brake all the way to the left it causes the automatic brake to be in "release" when the automatic brake is all the way into the right that's when You make an "emergency" brake application

It is an American whistle. But believe it or not, it comes from an entirely different locomotive altogether! The locomotive in the film is the Pere Marquette 1225 with some modifications such as a larger cowcatcher in the front, but the whistle sound comes from Sierra Railroad No.3 which also starred in Back To The Future 3 with the same whistle
