Deleted the Steven Tyler elf because that is more of Unintentional Uncanny Valley than intended Nightmare Fuel.

* Flat Top Tunnel. It's only seen for a brief moment, but it's pretty clear why the Hobo mentions how much of a danger it is. When the Hero Boy narrowly manages to land in the tender before the train enters the tunnel, the portal entrance is shaped like a demonic figure. Once the 1225 starts to enter, the smoke from her stack and the fire from her boiler make the eye-shaped holes in the portal entrance glow like a fiery inferno, complete with smoke for added effect, while the spikes form a sharp set of teeth. And that's not even getting into how the poor Hero Boy is almost killed just getting there.
** What makes this even more scary, if a deleted scene is to be believed, is that this tunnel is where the Hobo met his end many years ago, having failed to take note of the clearance between the roof of the train and the tunnel's ceiling. The fact his ghost is still haunting the train is frightening enough, but that he showed himself to the protagonist just minutes before they hit the spot where he met his demise can certainly leave anyone frightened.
