* Despite the seriousness of the situation, the scene when the pin breaks from the throttle. The driver pulls it back to slow the train down, but notices something is wrong. He pulls it back a couple more times, to no avail. Finally, he starts yanking on the throttle repeatedly, and we see the pin coming loose. And then we get this bit of dialogue

* The engineers' desperate struggle for the cotter pin needed for the brakes. After they lose it, the bearded engineer takes off his hat to reveal that not only does he have a spare he uses for a hair pin, but he has a ''lot'' of hair.

* When the Hero Boy first asks the Conductor where they're going, the latter answers with the iconic line, "Why to the North Pole, of course! This is the [[TitleDrop Polar Express]]!" When the train picks up Billy later on, we hear the Conductor exclaiming the phrase to him (in the exact same way, mind you), implying that he just says this to every kid who asks him about the destination.
