What if the Polar Express was Real?

The Polar Express is a classic Christmas movie where a Magic Train takes kids to see Santa at the North Pole. However, as magical as the movie is, it is at the end of the day, a fictional tale. But what if the Polar Express was Real? Would world hunger be solved? Would Depression finally be cleansed from the world? Watch to find out!

I love the polar express movie because the music, the locomotive, the passenger cars, the characters are all just iconic. Definitely my favorite Christmas movie of all time

The German locomotive was without water for 40 minutes and the PE would be without water for about 5 seconds. Would 5 seconds be enough for the firebox to overheat like that? Don't ask the know-it-all kid. He doesn't even know what type of locomotive the PE is. He gets it wrong when he tells the other kids.

The momentum of the train and Newtons Laws of physics prove that on the first hill the water would NOT rush to the front of the Boiler, but instead stay at the back as the train is traveling too fast for gravity to affect the water.

The 1225 was actually part of a series of locomotives known as the Van Swergian type. 2-8-4s that looked similar were built before and during WWII.

I can't wait to see the real polar Express in real life

[gordonfangirl]

I bet the people that hates this movie would loved that ending

Well if it was real. It would be a magic train so that wouldn’t happen.

My childhood (as a railway enthusiast) is now, destroyed.

Well the Girl Did said it's a Magic Train

So thats why did not Exploded



Pls Don't Get Offended

[russdemocker]

the polar express technically is real Pere Marquette 1225 is actually the basis locomotive for the polar express

[Stormysteamie]

Fiction is fiction and this is exactly what happens when it's not in the right place. It could get really nasty.

Most crew understand this principle, and will actually run the water a bit higher while going downhill, as the throttle will be closed and not using any steam, most likely the safety valve would have also popped by this point

5:44 Have there ever been train tracks built on such a ridiculous grade?

[thundercreekcustoms]

Let's be real, a Berkshire would fly off the top of that first hill 😂 the momentum involved would just obliterate the tracks

[antizoom]

You know what’s funny about that the designers of the tracks would have never made the second incline because they would know of the risk im sure there are regulations for rail design and safety kind of like Osha or something

[thethdoctor]

I don’t think this would truly happen, due to it being so cold that a whole frozen lake could support a train, I don’t think the train would over heat because of that and explode that quickly, on top of that I don’t think steam pressure would go up much mainly because of speed it’s not like the train was at a standstill it was going fast, and it also shows is by steam was bursting out of the pistons and if anything the fire would’ve die out from it moving around in the firebox, the only way they all could of die was from the derailment on the ramps or turns or after the “Ice” section.

[mintyleaf]

But can the "Real" Polar Express still go really fast? And then EMERGENCY BREAK? 👀

[CAMARODEVIN]

When the train went down the sharp Hills how did it not derail

[riondoesthings]

Wow the comments are a mess anyways nice video.

[christherailfan]

Well if it was real, the train wouldn’t even make it up the first hill.
