* The scene on the frozen lake has the train outrunning latter half of the ice breaking apart and realigning lake scene is essentially one big Awesome Moment, but the individual elements are still awesome on their own:
** First; Steamer is arguably the only person ''ever'' to pull off a J-Turn with a ''train''. And not just a lone locomotive, but an ''entire, damn, TRAIN!''
** Next; he manages to throw it back into "forward" at the exact moment for it to be pointed at the tracksjust in time.leading towards their original route (instead of the one they came from) when it straightens out.
** Then; with some guidance from the Conductor, he manages to not only slalom the train towards the track, but when the ice finally gives way, the entire train lands ''perfectly'' on the submerged rails, with not a single wheel being off-rail.
** Finally, and this concerns the locomotive more so than Steamer; it being able to pull the entire rolling stock up a 45-degree incline while the whole train - including the locomotive for a brief moment - was almost entirely underwater as if it was a leisurely hike, even as it threw up sparks from the drive wheels when it hit the hill.

:: Which then leads to another instance in which the now-ascending airship just barely clips the tree's star with the aforementioned sack, sending the former plummeting to the ground. One horn-blast from the airship later, and a squadron of bungee elves jump from the airship, grab the star mid-fall, then not only replace, but reactivate the star in less time than it takes for a human to do the same with a "normal" tree.
