I hate to be that guy, but the Polar Express was based on the Pere Marquette 1225. This is the Nickel Plate Road 765. Very similar (and made by the same company) but not the same.
THIS LOCO 765 is N.K.P. with 69"D. drivers; but P.M. 1225 used as P.X. has 70" D. drivers!! and both types are designed by VAN SWERIGEN BROS. in 1940s for WW2, Plus ➕ CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO 2-8-4 Kanawha like 2716 now being rebuilt in Raveena, Kentucky. ok on Mon., September 18, 2023A.D. p.s.: P.M. 1225 is being repaired in Owosso, Michigan, with repairs to Axles and wheels, plus 2 cranes lifted 1225 boiler back onto wheels, almost READY TO ROLL!!!!! MON. SEPTEMBER 18, 2023A.D.
The 'slip' allows mechanical engineers to check the motion action. It's done by coating the rails with grease. In the steam era some railway/railroad companies had special rolling roads, the French had one as did British Railways. These test beds were capable of of also testing a locomotive traction output versus coal consumption.
