Best Answer

They both involve a mixture of Christmas lore with the Railroad background. the movie, which I did not see, has some sinister valve timing. There is something strange going on... not really spooky but far more so than the book. once underway the book is a relatively smooth-running express with no signal or motor trouble, phantom hoboes, or the like. The film has more suspense and action not found in the book. If I remember correctly ( I am more familiar with the book, the abduction angle is far more toned down, and there are no female characters in the story. it"s a he-man world, so to speak. The use of Locomotive #1225 to pull the Express is a clever calendrical pun. I am not a fan of Clausism so I don"t care for films that support this myth. N"uff said.
