  • Loop this 49 and 1/2 times and you've basically watched Polar Express. That engineer is MLG as fuck. Anyway, Here's how I'd like to see a drifting train again: In the next mad max movie. Now hear me out lol;
    Think about it. Some gearheads got their hands on a steam train, put tracks on it and slapped a huge fuck all cannon to the front, and they use it to siege encampments by drifting and firing HE, why? Because these particular raiders have a coal mine. Not exactly gas but you've got to make do, right?

      Maglevs can technically drift on a large magnetic field, they just use the magnetic rails to hit those high speeds.

    I just now realized that the conductor intentionally bunched the train up mid drift to condense the weight so they’d be heavy enough to crack the ice. He did it so they’d be able to hit the rails on the the other side of the frozen lake before going through the narrow pass 🤯🤯🤯

      actually the only way the train could've been drifting is hitting the breaks and using the force of the cars/trailers to push the train off to the side and then pulling forward to have the cars/trailers pull back on the train to force it the other way. given they still had some traction it would work.

      ​@@ThomasG2-Chuklenuts Actually, part of me felt like this is possible. At least 40% of physics can be accurate, hear me out:
      To set things out, since Polar Express is a magical train, it can have up to 20 passenger cars in some scenes, but usually, it's just 5 passenger cars like the frozen lake scene shown. That know-it-all nerd kid mentioned in the film that this "Baldwin 2-8-4 S-3 class Berkshire type steam locomotive" weighs 456,100 pounds, or 200+ tons, so it's still a lot of mass. I'm not sure how this mass is going to distribute on 62 wheels given with the cars, but based on charts and the train's area coverage, a 2-3 meters thick ice can actually hold up 200+ tons. (I also have seen videos of a 100+ tons cargo plane landing on antartica ice, but you'll have to search the video for that). Counter-arguments I can think of is that lakes don't have 2 meters thick ice, or that could be wrong lol.
      Metal train wheels do suffer from grip, but since train wheels can have these sharp outer rims, it can plant into the ice like ice skaters in this sense. But most importantly, as long as there's some grip, and the wheels spin fast enough, you can actually get going, but I'm not going to do the math for that, mainly because, I don't know lol. One interesting counter-argument is that while the wheels can have grip, the entire train's power only comes from the 4 pairs of drive wheel on the steam engine car thing, and it would be difficult to achieve the accelerations shown in the scene if these drive wheels have less grip, less downforce to plant the power, and pulling 200 tons of weight.
      I would say that a lot of weight transferring and momentum are used when the train performs the 180 spin and aligning to the exit. Sadly there's no sources on how drifting on trains work, and also mainly that there's no steering wheels on a train. So I guess it wasn't really possible, but hey, have to say that the momentum of the train looks very realistic, and the way that the passenger cars trail behind, which might also contribute to the weight transferring/momentum of the entire train.
      The train may be traveling at high speed, but since it's not going 80mph straight into the ice, but traveling on the surface, there's no extra forces produced downwards to the ice other than the 200 tons gravity, and some frictional force. The pin indeed cannot crack open 2-meter thick ice, although one argument I can make is that ice layer thickness can be irregular, and maybe the pin just happen to land on a very thin layer of ice, as in 3 inches or so, but that would be impossible.
      So, 40% physically accurate, I would say quite better than some other movies out there, since physics was never the main concern. I never watched star wars though so I can't compare it.

    Mad respect to the driver here. He managed to drift a train, spin it round, align it perfectly with a gap less than 10ft across, all while driving a several ton train across ice.

      ah well, that's not quite.. At the very least out of the ones I looked at the bpm, loopability, and emotional impact worked the best. Music needs to match whats going on in a sort of a dance, otherwise its just noise you filter out
