Question: How come the conductor and the hero girl walk on the roof of the train headed towards the front when they could have walked through it, the way they did coming back with the hero boy?

Question: When Hero Boy gets back from the toy room in the train, what were all the kids shouting?
Answer: After "Hero Boy" gets back into the train the kids are all laughing and spouting gibberish. This is often done in post-production when backround noise or talking is necessary. They aren't saying or shouting anything in paticular, just a bunch of kids jabbering on about nothing. I listened to that section three times and it's just gibberish.

Answer: Cinematically, it made for more excitement. Walking to and from the engine through the train is, let's face it, boring.
