He's working harder than he has to.

Engineer: Ya see physicists tend to work in the theoretical, while us engineers work in applied. And when you apply weight and a hot hard metal wheel you cut a groove in the low friction surface thereby making it possible to drive a train on ice.
@@duddude321 Oh. but wouldn't the hot wheels melt the ice beneath, either causing the train to fall deeper, or cause a layer of water to lubricate the surface, reducing friction more, like ice skates do?
@@erikwoodruff5643 the wheels have a lot of weight on them, the would push into the grooves and displace most of the water. There would still be slippage, but it wouldn't be enough to ruin locomotion because the train doesn't really stay over an area long enough. The train is bleeding off speed the whole time though, make no mistake. It is putting out far more energy than what it's getting back in utility, at the speed it's moving the wheels are doing more for steering and drift control than acceleration and braking.
14 years after it was realised, its still making an impact, and a great meme, its pretty much the longest lasting meme I have seen from a movie! (As of 2018 cause 2019 is almost right around the corner)
@Aidan Giese I think the weight of the cars is included in the average weight, though I'm not sure. Edit: just remembered the number of cars also varies throughout the movie.

Ethpling Fun fact: if the polar express had rubber tires that would be possible Proof: The momentum of the coaches could guide the polar express left and right as well as the engineer changing the direction of the engine making it go left and right. And also this engineer is a God at driving the train, The method of changing direction of the train is to take the regulator/throttle in idle then put the automatic brakes on then put the reverser/the lever that changes the direction of locomotive to either reverse or forward and the take the regulator off Idle. And this dude is doing this every 2 seconds
I for one am amazed by the skills of the one shoveling the coal. How does he keep his balance between the engine cart and the coal cart mid drift and how does he manage to accurately throw the coal into the furnace? Honestly, the entire staff of the Polar Express is insanely skilled.
The fact that it appears the train has tank controls would indicate that this is at least a predicted event, if not common. The boys in control have such a good hold of it even kinda showing off to me seems like they've done it a thousand times. I need to watch this movie again. I miss it honestly

points to Steamer for knowing how to drift *801 and 1/4 TON* train on ICE of all things! (yes, I did the research on 1225's weight of 401 & 1/4 tons, plus the weight of the passenger cars. I for one, assumed they were Pullman Heavyweights, and those are around 80 tons, and since there is USUALLY five cars behind 1225, and the total came to the aforementioned 801 & 1/4 tons)
If you count the revolutions of the traction rods when the train is horizontal across the screen you can calculate its speed, besides it’s an animated movie what did you expect ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Description is flippin amazing, just like this video and the movie are. Going on 16 years old and STILL watch The Polar Express every year, about 40 times per season..
as a Canadian who used to live far north, i can confirm this happens every year the drift express passes by, but they usually drift for around 20 minutes when the ice isnt shattering
What they don't show you is that the sick ass drifting caused him to instantly lose weight and materialized 12 hot chicks to bang him. Also, that music wasn't added for the video, Eurobeat just happens to play whenever he's at the wheel.
No one seems to be mentioning that this is a massive lake, which implies that even when there's no ice there's still probably metres of water over the tracks anyway, so this might be the only way to get to the other side with a train
I like Running in the 90's more, It's the one I ultimately picked over others but people have asked for the deja vu version and I had fun doing it so why not.

I’m gonna tell my kids that this was Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift
I went to see that when it came out. LOL!
Get it? Every time it says "Deja Vu", the same clip plays again.
I only just realized that
NoHomeLike 192.168.8.1 don't forget the conductor is standing on his feet when he's trying to be him, yeeeeeeahh~
It somehow took me two years to realize it, and the third g that clips it to my head, is this comment... GG TO ALL
I was wondering why I kept on seeing that guy dab
I slammed my head 50 times on the desk, then suddenly deja vu started to play and the whole thing replayed itself.
thanks bro! now I'm in an infinite head-slamming-on-desk loop.
Wife: so honey how’s your day been?
Engineer: I well I drifted a Train on ice and pat it on half it’s wheels as saved about 50 kids (after getting hit with a shovel to cough up the pin for the trains throttle never mind the fact I flawlessly controlled the train as it was on half of its wheels ya know casually) why how’s your day been?
Wife: ... goooooodddddddd
My most liked comments thanks everyone
( ) where the edited bit is
The norm
"After getting hit by a shovel to cough up a pin that goes to the trains throttle"
Cue panty drop
Poorly Animates oh i forgot to add that lol
Wife:that's wonderful, sweetie. You want pancakes for breakfast when you get home?
Big Smoke : All we had to do was following the damn train CJ
The train :
When a 2004 film has better graphics than most security cameras
If you watch frame by frame, at 0:50 the conductor dabs
Yess
What the!!!
He does
That dab is respectable
Cosporcos lmao
WHO NEEDS OUR MODERN TRAINS WE COULD JUST USE THIS BEAST
Im sure the polar exspress gets upgraded every 10 years or so.
But imagine a drifting Shinkansen 700 series!
@@user-lf8qu9un8y Imagine a mile long train drifting
I bet the conductor has done did this his whole life
LMAO!!
dis is how we take trains to russia
the first few seconds of this song bass boosted with my headphones makes me feel bullet proof
Are you a Russian?
Yes

*Shows this*
Me: "Oh."
This and Hot Chocolate number
*MULTI-TRACK DRIFTING!*
DAB BOI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Iron Horse Studios that's cancer mate
So are you.
Iron Horse Studios well... FUCK.
Polar Express: "Who needs tracks?"
I really like polar express animation.......... it was pretty impressive for 2004 standards
This loop like video is QUALITY. The reuse of scenes and their smooth transitions to fill the song’s duration is BEAUTIFUL. Kudos.
Description is flippin amazing, just like this video and the movie are.
Going on 16 years old and STILL watch The Polar Express every year, about 40 times per season..
That one Fat Kid , same tradition since I was a baby
That one Fat Kid the trains moving too fast to fall through the ice
Love it that the conductor keeps dabbing! 😂
Oh yeah on the drift 😂😂
He dabbed before i existed lmao
as a Canadian who used to live far north, i can confirm this happens every year the drift express passes by, but they usually drift for around 20 minutes when the ice isnt shattering
Thank you for mixing the best parts of my childhood together.
What they don't show you is that the sick ass drifting caused him to instantly lose weight and materialized 12 hot chicks to bang him. Also, that music wasn't added for the video, Eurobeat just happens to play whenever he's at the wheel.
Wrong. It's 30 chicks, and also another 10 billion dollars are added to his bank account whenever he lays a finger on one of the train's levers.
This is the best comment of all time
Your Average Adam Taurus WRONG its 72 virgins
But who is "he?!"
Oh you mean controls
Tracks? We dont need tracks? *pushes throttle to maximum speed*
Carlos Molina , is that a bttf reference
Where were going we don't need "tracks"
tracks? where we are going we don't need. tracks
Hell yeah
No one seems to be mentioning that this is a massive lake, which implies that even when there's no ice there's still probably metres of water over the tracks anyway, so this might be the only way to get to the other side with a train
To this day this is one of the most legendary memes I've seen, calling it a meme feels like an understatement
Damn the ninties one was pretty Damn good but Aight .
I like Running in the 90's more, It's the one I ultimately picked over others but people have asked for the deja vu version and I had fun doing it so why not.
Ye I understand that and it Turned out to Be good and epic. Just saying i kinda like the 90s one abit more :3
Wrong vid
friendsANDsuch350 ???
Battlecruiser Plays i prefer Deja vu over running in the 90s any day
This scene was so fucking cool
"You cant drift a steam locomotive like you can in a diesel locomotive"
*The drunk duo on christmas eve*
Me: Finally, some good recommendation! haven't seen this movie again for about 10 years
Also me, 5 minutes later: D E J A V U
the conductors dab at 0:50 is legendary
So is your channel just Polar Express memes because if it is I'll donate.
George Jones jeremy! watch where you're spending your money!
I think that's money well spent
Natu Craves Video Games I know that's money well spent
I just love how you kept redoing the scenes but I’m not complaining I actually think it was more cool
I like trains 🚂🚂
look very closely at 0:50 the conductor dabs
Dabbing wasn't even a thing when this movie was out.
Nick Gardner no shit.
+Nick Gardner, this movie predicted the downfall of the Meme Empire. Out with the glory of Rickrolls, cats and Gandalf, in came these disgusting excuses for memes: dabs, deez nuts, and the lenny face.
Meeep90 Meeep90 *HE DAAAAAAAAABED*
The funniest comment I've read today. Thanks.
Conductor: “How do we cross over train on frozen lake with no tracks?”
Engineer: “..Yes”
Teacher: well schools are closing pack ur bags
Students: ...
Takumi: drives with the ae86
Takumi in final stage: uses a train instead
*Multi-track drifting.*
Multi-Track DRIFTING!!???
*Multi-track drifting.*
MASAKA!!!!!
trackless drifting
Engineer: Tracks? What tracks?
someones getting a raise!
This dude drifted an entire train on ice. Okay yeah that’s cool, but remember that trains can’t steer, so this guy drifted a train on ice without the use of any steering
the mad man actually did it! i am so happy they made it safe!
that being said what do you think the casualty % is on the polar express?
Trust me, I'm an engineer. Drifting a 7 ton train with kids on it on ice while it collapses?
Hold. My. Bobby pin.
I believe you
440 ton
*TRUST ME I'M AN ENGINEER!*
*I THINK WE'LL PUT THIS THING RIGHT HERE!*
*TRUST ME I'M AN ENGINEER!*
*WHAT THE heck DID JUST HAPPEN HERE!*
*TRUST ME I'M AN ENGINEER WITH EPIC SKILL AND EPIC GEAR!*
*OH no I THINK I'M OUTTA HERE!*
And coaches made it almost 1,450 tons
The engineer is Takumi in disguise! >;3

Nah man. that's Bunta.
Bunta confirmed
Fr'instance...
...How am I going to stop some big mean mother hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous new behind?
Oh so a steam locomotive that weighs over 800 pounds doesn’t crack the ice but yet a tiny pin causes it to crack
Little off on the weight try 100 tons
@@southernrailwayfan1338 oh alright
i mean your technically right about the weight
400 ton for engine and tender 1200 for coaches
This kind of power has never been obtained by a mere mortal before, but this engineer...
