As the train approaches a tunnel, the hobo takes the boy and they ski to the front of the train before the Polar Express enters a low clearance tunnel. The hobo offers the boy a hot cup of coffee and asks about the boy’s belief in Santa Claus and ghosts. Once on the roof, the skeptical boy encounters a mysterious hobo (Tom Hanks). Billy tells him that they went outside on the top of the train, and the skeptical boy follows them onto the snowy roof. He follows the conductor and the girl back to the observation car. The skeptical boy catches site of the girl’s ticket in the heating duct and grabs it.
The conductor takes the girl back to the observation car, and the skeptical boy believes that he is going to throw her off the train.
When the conductor begins to punch tickets, the skeptical boy admits to losing the girl’s ticket and tries to give her his, but the conductor will not allow it. Unfortunately, he loses the ticket between cars and fails to notice that the ticket ultimately returns inside the main cab. The skeptical boy notices that the girl leaves her un-punched ticket on her seat and grabs it to return it to her. She and the conductor take the refreshment to Billy in the observation car. Soon the train staff serve hot chocolate to all the children, and the enthusiastic girl saves a cup for Billy. Billy doesn’t join the children in the main cab, but instead chooses to sit alone in the observation car. The skeptical boy pulls the emergency brake to stop the train so that Billy can get onboard. As the train pulls away, Billy changes his mind and runs to catch up to the train. Billy is reluctant to get on the train, so the conductor signals the engineer to leave. Before the train leaves the skeptical boy’s town, it stops to pick up a lonely boy named Billy ( Jimmy Bennett). The train is filled with excited children, including an enthusiastic girl ( Nona Gaye) and a know-it-all boy ( Eddie Deezen). Initially reluctant, the skeptical boy jumps aboard as the train begins to pull away. The conductor (Tom Hanks) approaches the boy and explains that the train is the Polar Express bound for the North Pole and inquires whether the skeptical boy is going to get on. Once outside, he finds a mysterious steam locomotive waiting in front of his house. The boy grabs his robe, tearing a hole in its pocket, and heads outside.
Suddenly, the skeptical boy hears a loud noise coming from the street outside his home. The boy has reached the age where he doesn’t believe in Santa Claus any longer, reaching the conclusion that it is an intricate ruse created by his parents ( Tom Hanks and Leslie Zemeckis). A young boy ( Daryl Sabara) struggles to fall asleep as he wrestles with the excitement of Christmas Day and the existence of Santa Claus. It is the night of Christmas Eve in the snowy suburbs of some unknown American town.
