Did the they cook⁉️🔥🚂 The Polar Express drifting an entire steam locomotive across a frozen lake is still one of the wildest driving scenes ever put in a Christmas movie.
⠀
In the 2004 film, the train reaches an ice-covered section after losing control on the descent through Glacier Gulch.
⠀
With the tracks buried beneath the frozen lake, the locomotive begins sliding sideways across the ice with the entire passenger train behind it.
⠀
The engineer and fireman desperately work to regain control while the conductor calls out steering directions from outside the cab.
⠀
The sequence gets even more chaotic as the ice begins cracking beneath the train and they have to line the locomotive back up with the tracks before it gives way.
⠀
The frozen-lake sequence was created specifically for the movie and was not part of Chris Van Allsburg’s original 1985 book.
⠀
Is this secretly one of the greatest drift scenes in movie history?
