The "Hero Girl" doesn't speak to either of the other 2 named females (Hero Boy's mother and sister, Sarah)

At the beginning of the movie the mother talks to her child about Santa, so it seems to me it passes the test.

this should at least pass the first two tests and possibly pass the the third! the mother and daughter talk at the start of the movie. the daughters name is SISTER Sarah implying that there names are from the POV of Hero Boy. the mothers name is “mother”. because Hero Boy would never call his mom by her first name.

Only one female is named - therefore, it gets 0/3

the sister is the only named female character, they have a conversation about santa. but with the polar express only really having 1 potentially 2 named characters, i dont think the bechdel test is the right reviewing system for it
