I think it’s a different whistle, it’s higher pitched, and I haven’t found anything about it on the internet. I heard somewhere it was from GN 2584 but I’m not sure.
in the movie story you can tell the whole exspress train isvery nostalgic and the whole train has that 1930s style to it even the whistle makes think of riding on it on Christmas Eve in the middle of nowhere hearing the whistle the whistle sounds 1930s style to I mean look at the back of the observation car it looks 1930s all over it and that's what I love the most about the polar exspress
@@alvit123 yeah but is actually mostly resembles an Erie Railroad S3 class Berkshire type steam locomotives that were indeed built in the early 1930’s.
Sierra railway #3 provided the glorious whistle for the engine. While the engine, tender included is based directly on the Pere Marquette which at least to me looks like a Hudson. My question is what combination of chimes did they have to use to make such a iconic whistle?!? Seriously its like the steam engine version of "MOVE BITCH!"
Fun fact: The Polar Express' whistle is from the locomotice Sierra #3, wich, actually appeared in another movie, Back To The Future 3 Reference: when Hero Boy (yes, that's his name) blew the engine's whistle, he said "I always wanted to do that!!" wich Doc from BTTF 3 also said when they robbed the Sierra #3
From the research I've done, the whistle is actually from Sierra Railway No. 3. If you listen to No.3's whistle, it is exactly the same as the one in the movie. Have a listen: th-cam.com/video/Pr5kOCpyADA/w-d-xo.html
Hmmm, that's interesting, because the whistle of No.3 sounds far more like the one from the movie. I've listened to both whistles, and not only is No.3's the same pitch, but it's also the same timbre. I could be 100% wrong, but it just sounded that way to me. Also, Sierra Railway No.3 was featured in the film Back to the Future III, which like The Polar Express was also directed by Robert Zemeckis. So it makes sense that he would use the same whistle in both of his films, as he already had the contacts from Sierra Railways and it's far easier to edit the sounds of something he already had on file. Why they didn't just end up using Pere Marquette 1225's actual whistle is anyone's guess. I mean, they modeled the Polar Express around that Locomotive, but that's just my thoughts. Whichever whistle it is though, the one I hear in the movie is pure magic.
Trainguy1225 Railfan Productions - Seriously? You're basing this off of rumors, which means they haven't yet been proven true or false? That is just pathetic. Not to mention rather baseless.
I first saw this movie in theaters at the age of seven back in 2004. I remember it well. One of the best holiday films I had ever seen on the big screen, other than Elf and The Grinch.
Nope. NYC 5 chimes were a little higher than that, this is the whistle you'd hear on Sierra 3, which starred in another Robert Zemmeckis movie, oddly enough.
Fun fact that will change how you look at this movie, inside the cab in one scene, you can see the Flux capacitor from back to the future, and one quote is from back to the future 3, just slightly altered. Here's the lines side by side. In BTTF3: " I've wanted to do that my whole life". And in The Polar Express: " I've always wanted to do that my whole life". The only difference is that The polar express adds the word ALWAYS, that's it. Plus the Flux capacitor is extremely hard to spot.
@@marnixwecke7280 That would be Sierra 3, which starred in hundreds of movies and TV shows, including Back to the Future 3, which had the same director as Polar Express, Robert Zemeckis.
Fun fact the "steam whistle" used in the polar express is based on the steam whistle from Sierra railways no.3 whistle. In reality Pere Marquette 1225 has a Nathan 6 chime steam whistle also Pere Marquette has two ways For Her Engineer to blow the steam whistle. She tipically has a "whistle pull cord" and a "whistle valve" She also has a whistle pull cord on the Fireman's side She also has an "air ringer" on the Engineer's side. Edit I also realized that the Engineer broke a few rules about whistle signals. at the first scene the Engineer did a "proceeding" whistle signal not the "stop" whistle signal and then the Engineer again failed to preform a "stop" whistle signal and then He randomly decides to preform the "stop" whistle signal when the train arrives at the north pole
Is it unknown, if they kept the sound recordings of PM 1225 for the film (like the puffing, the rolling stock sounds, etc.), or if it was something else they did with the sound recordings? Just a question I wanted to ask.
Same director did both movies, after all 😁 and there’s a flux capacitor above the firebox in the engine. There’s even an entire theory on Reddit dedicated to how the BTF and Polar Express universes are one in the same, how Doc Brown’s train from the end of the 3rd was a rough prototype for what the Polar Express became.
Robert Zemeckis Actually switched The 2-8-4s conventional Whistle with Sierra No. 3's Whistle, the Locomotive portraying Central Pacific No. 131 in BTTF 3... So The Polar Express is a Back to the Future Reference in it of itself... Bravo Robert Zemeckis
Funny how that works. Also, I think the Sierra Railway 3 whistle gives off the idea of a powerful, majestic steam train better than the whistles used by the actual Pere Marquette 1225. It reminds me of how in a lot of movies and TV shows, they use the tiger's "cough roar" for lions, t-rexes, and monsters. Or like how they use the scream of a red-tailed hawk for bald eagles.
@@Interestingenough4 Exactly! But notice when the train first pulls up in front of hero boy's house, the whistle you hear is the actual whistle of the Pere Marquette, but later gets switched into Sierra No 3's whistle when the train departs.
@Interestingenough4, that was exactly what I was thinking of too! Although personally I think the whistle that best gives off that vibe is the beautiful deep, rich 3-chime of the 611, which 1225 has worn.
i think it’s a sound effect made by the film crew that kinda uses Sierra 3’s Lima 5 Chime as a base/inspiration. best explination i could come up with. :I
The Sound itself isn't from 1225 But in fact from a much different locomotive, but Its FAR better than 1225`s real whistle, AND YES! that locomotive is based on a real locomotive numbered 1225, it is located in the American state of Michigan, Out of this compilation my favourite whistle is at this time stamp... 0:45.
