Polar Express Sound Library 4.0

It's finally here!
I do not own these sounds, all sounds belong to Skywalker sound and sounds were sourced from the movie itself, The SoundEffects Wiki, and videos from this wonderful playlist by Super Foxy Railway Productions!:

Every December, I think of this movie and it still holds its spot as one of my favorite Christmas movies of all time. For some reason, I absolutely adore the visual and sound design that went into this movie.
I loved the nerve-wracking sound of chugging of the train gradually slowing while climbing up the hill before Flat Top Tunnel. I even loved the part where the observation car gets disconnected. No overly dramatic music needed, just pure panic while you hear the train car creak and groan while gaining momentum, then screeching and squealing as it reaches high speeds.
The music is so wonderful too, particularly with the usage of echoing, distant Christmas songs while the trio are lost in Santa's large and creepily empty factory which reinforced the feeling of isolation as well as the feeling you get when leaving a building that's about to close for the night, when no one is around anymore.
I also found myself occasionally looking at the concept art for the movie, especially the architecture and design found in the later-half of the movie.

Couldn’t agree more with this, I rewatched this film recently and it truly has a haunting ascetic that I can’t help but love.

And to think the majority of these sounds are from the real Polar Ex.

[@thefatgoji4348]

the sound designers worked with the 1225 for recording a good amount of the sound effects (chugging particularly)

Where was the coupling impact at 1:00 heard in the film?

[@thefatgoji4348]

going off what the sound effects wiki said, the sound plays when the hand car re-couples the observation car towards the end of the film, but in the film a similar sound (or heavily edited version) plays.
