Free fantasizing-time!
Many of you who're fans of The Polar Express-movie/book would certainly that it was taking place an time, Grand Rapids somewhere in the 50s/60s, (Chris van Allsburg's childhood).
Well, I actually had some thoughts and small pondering of how it would be if Santa have always been sending out transportations to fetch children for the deal of giving the first gift of Christmas and how long he's been doin' it.
I don't feel to think that far though, so here's my vision of The Polar Express, almost one entire century back! (Well, one century back from van Allsburg's childhood, Y'know..)

And I made the humans here ponies, simply just be-Cause! ... XP (You can imagine them being wolves to if you dearly want. XB)

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, everybody!

Now thats what I call "THE POLAR EXPRESS" you've outdone yourself . It is real classy looking and beautiful, 19th century steam locomotives with big wide smokestacks hve always been my most favorite of steam trains. I have seen your other train pictures and it is safe to say that you are the cat's meow of deviantart. I would also like to seethis masterpiece in color, that would be perfect. You could also make real-styled versions of the trains from the book "THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD".

You made a great 1861 Polar Express, and I admit that is it's pretty cool, but here are my three versions:
