This absolute mad fucking legend torque steered a 436,500lb steam loco-fucking motive on a frozen lake. No driver in the history of all creation has anything on this absolute unit. Godspeed brother
This makes the scene 10x better. I always like to imagine Free Bird being played whenever you’re in trouble and need to overcome a near impossible situation. Free Bird gives engines a new set of life and it can take you anywhere you set your mind to.
The fact that the engineer in this can make that locomotive do what it does tells me he must have been running that thing since the day it was built. Not only is he able to operate the train as though it has tank treads, he can also resist the sheer amount of force placed on the Johnson Bar as he takes it from all the way in the corner forward to all the way in the corner reverse in a matter of seconds. This man should have been thrown out of the front cab wall the instant he set that thing in forward. He has more control over his locomotive than even the most experienced horsemen have with their favorite horses. If he can make that locomotive do what it does in this scene, he can make that damn thing go to space if he wants to. Sorry for the nerd rant, but I can't help but point out how damn badass the engineer from The Polar Express is.
i cant get the fact that somehow a steam locomotive that probably weighs about 1,200,000 pounds didn't break the ice until almost reaching the tracks again out of my head
Only the engine on steam engine is glowing red This Engineer (Train Operator/Driver) Heard his beast a talking. The conductor giving instructions only helped her to see a little more clearly so that she could tell her engineer where to.guide her.
_I like how the addition of this song turned Steamer from a bumbling side character into a train drifting giga-chad._
"Always has been."
Either this song or Dracula by rob zombie
The part at 0:25 when the music kicked in and with the wheels zoomed in hits perfectly
Steamer: “Lynyrd Skynyrd mode engage!” *throws the johnson bar full forward*
@@jamesgroccia644 Wow, you know train vocabulary.
Not to mention how the engine chugging matches the drum line at 0:07
This just screams HIGHBALL

let's even start on how a couple of madmen managed to fly a tank either
Fucking facts bro. Especially at over 30 mph
Just fucking badass
@@jamesrawlz2853I’m sorry WHAT!?
@@whayamean308 a team tank scene
I had an idea, googled it, saw that it existed, and it did not disappoint in the slightest
Baby Driver been real quiet since this driver pulled up

0:09 That music synced up so good!
This is honestly the best edit I’ve seen of “when freebird kicks in.” Amazing job!
Watch the Volk chase from mw3 edit
The Polar Express is definitely a movie that exists, but this scene goes hard as fuck for no reason.
Its for the memes
This makes the scene 10 times better
Nerd: Trains can’t outrun anything, not even cracking ice.
Polar Express:
Prr s1 that "claimed" that it had managrd to go up to 156 mph (also its a steam train from the 19s so dont say its slow)
Hell the current steam speed record is 126 mph, faster is possible
Seriously the best scene in the movie

I didn't even need to read the rant to appreciate it. The man is a true badass.
hey check this out, a tank is basically a train that lays its own tracks in a loop
Forget multi track drifting this is freebird drifting
oh my god babe is that the spinning rat music? i love that
No no, this is the spinning train music now.
Nope drifting train music
still Cant belive that such a Masterpiece of a Movie was Created Almost 20 Years ago. Bravo!
Free Bird never gets old.
Okay let it be said, these guys deserve a raise
The fact this syncs up into the music is Perfect
Say what you want about this movie, but this scene genuinely goes pretty hard.
Im glad to have been able to find this on christmas
When your 2 minutes behind schedule but then your jam starts playing
Props to the train driver.
This ain't The Polar Express this is The Freebird Express
I honestly am not the biggest fan of this movie but this scene goes HARD, and adding free bird to it? I’M AIRBORNE
Random dude: you cannot drift a train
Homie: *shows how he drifts the solar express train*
imagine the sound is coming from the train’s boiler
*boiler crying.mp3*
Train haters: other vehicles are simply more mobile.
The polar express: hold my engine oil.
I remember the last time a locomotive drove on ice, 1998
"Yes grandpa we need to take your medication"
Best Free Bird I seen in a while lol
this is my favorite movie and I will fight anyone who disses a steam train.
Your only a true drifter if you can drift 250 ton steam locomotive carrying 5 pullman couches loaded WITHOUT breaking the ice.
Me and the boys after we pass a red home signal:
i always wondered why i felt something was missing when i watched this as a kid and now.. now i know. god DAM this goes HAAARD
Only possible because the polar express somehow has a engagable differential lock and a power splitter
i cant get the fact that somehow a steam locomotive that probably weighs about 1,200,000 pounds didn't break the ice until almost reaching the tracks again out of my head
The drift express
It would be even better if the hobo was behind them playing the music.
Freebird, Tokyo Drift, any tune fits so well
The new vehicle in drift runner
Only in America you can drift a train
it fits so goddam well!
In general I’d say I don’t really like this movie.
But this scene goes unbelievably hard.
I feel like the animators made it sync with the song on purpose
People:Trains cannot drif-
Polar express:
Bro they wheels matched the beat lol
POV you let that one friend drive for once
Now I wish this was the edit of the actual film because I can’t see it any other way
Close the internets ! We're done ! We have a winner !
So this train has one annual trip, and no one checked the tracks for safety before the train went out?
Fastest Berkshire around
Hell yeah
You all need to check out the rob zombie, dragula version.
Only the engine on steam engine is glowing red

Tokyo. We drift cars, Canada we drift plane North Pole we drift train.
🤣💀
This film (especially this scene) is an amazing Xmas movie. Who else agrees? (If u disagree, get out. Now.)
