    If the Polar Express railway is real, that would’ve been the most dangerous railway system ever made.

    I’ve learned 2 things from this
    1: Glacier Gulch is way more dangerous compared to anything that happens on Sodor
    2: never let six flags design your railroad

    One underrated aspect of this movie i rarely ever see appreciation for is the magnificent sound design. The sound effects in this movie sound absolutely phenomenal and help make this movie incredibly immersive.

  • @ConnorMiller417
    @ConnorMiller417 Před 9 měsíci +176

    As unrealistic as this scene is, it’s still a masterful display of imagination. In real life, a 179% downhill grade would cause the engines to explode due to the train’s weight and altitude angle. But the sound design as well as Tom Hanks’ scream really drives home the excitement in this scene.

    • @shibainu2528
      @shibainu2528 Před 8 měsíci +6

      I don't know how to not sound passive aggressive so apologies, but "the train exploding" I feel like is only one problem. Aside from the direction change from down to up causing the train to be "heavier" for a bit (An object in motion remains in motion) plus the fragility of the tracks built out of toothpicks would cause them to break. Plus, I don't know how trains work, but I feel like at the speed they are at, the hills would cause the train to fly off the tracks, again, Newton's first law.
      But yeah, the sound design is great for this scene and at many other points in the movie. The mixture of camera angles and switches between inside and outside the cabin really sells how fast the train is going, alongside the weightlessness of the hills and the strong "gravity" of the... what do you call them, valleys? The opposite of a hill.
      Point is, great scene. Unrealistic, but it doesn't have to be when you are dealing with fiction. That's what make most fictional works fun (Not implying that nonfiction isn't fun)

    For those that don’t know, the first sign on the left says “danger 179% grade” which means the track is going up and down 179ft over 100 feet making this track more than mountain grade which at minimum is only 3%

    • @alexrose9507
      @alexrose9507 Před rokem +13

      Actually, I think it said 179° not 179%. Because, if it was 179 feet over 100 feet the gradient would be around 60°, but in the scene it is clearly almost vertical (around 180°). But then again, my maths may be wrong.

But since most people watching the film don't know much about engineering and railway grades they probably just tried to think of the simplest thing to describe it (i.e. 180 equals straight down).

    Now knowing how steam locomotives work, and knowing that steam locomotives have what’s known as a crow sheet, it stands to reason that the locomotive should have suffered a major boiler explosion due to the fact that the the crown sheet was left dry. Allowing it to become red hot, when the water touches it again, KABOOM! Thank you @historyinthedark for teaching me how the process works

    Today I learned that the engineer and Santa Claus are the two only overweight characters in the movie, but are also the most kind-hearted. The engineer is cautious of getting his passengers and his best friend (the fireman) to safety while Santa is understanding of the minds of children and gifts Hero Boy with the most prized possession of the North Pole when he was finally able to believe.
