| - Tillie is the nickname of a mural of a grinning figure that was painted on the side of the Palace Amusements building in Asbury Park, New Jersey, U.S.A. Tillie is an amusement park "fun face," painted over the winter of 1955-1956. The mural has been featured in movies, TV shows such as The Sopranos, Weird NJ magazine, and a famous photo of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band early in their career. Much like other boardwalk areas in the U.S.A. such as Coney Island, New York, Asbury Park has fallen on hard times. Palace Amusements, built in 1888, closed their doors in 1988 and the historic building fell into disrepair. When the Palace site was targeted for demolition and redevelopment, Asbury Park residents, Tillie fans and Springsteen fans formed a grassroots effort to save Tillie, lobbying the state to block the demolition or at least remove the mural beforehand. The group was partially successful, for they succeeded doing the latter. From June 8 to June 11, 2004, Save Tillie volunteers removed the mural from the Palace building. The building was demolished in July, 2004. Tillie and other murals from the Palace building will be incorporated into the replacement building, which Asbury Partners will build. (Note that there was more than one Tillie painting on the Palace Amusements building.)

Tillie tries to tell Tower that she can pull the birthday train, but is so sad that Tower says that she can't pull the birthday train. When Tower is asleep, Jebidiah tells Tillie that he can't do it, and Tillie is so worried that there's no-one to take the birthday train, but is told by Chip that she's the only engine left. Tillie sets off to collect the birthday train, and takes the toys over the mountain, but is set by two wolfs, who tell her she can't do it. She bravely attempts to cross the bridge, but is adviced by the eagle to turn back, then tells the eagle that she can do it, and ignores the eagle's advice. Tillie manages to cross the bridge, but loses one of the wagons behind her, and meets a cave with a voice inside. Tillie attempts to go through the cave, but is knocked by an avalanche. When Eric hears about the birthday train, which is knocked by the avalanche, Tillie awakens and wakes up Chip, but finally manages to make it out of the snow. Tillie manages to reach the yard for Eric's birthday, and says that she's done it, because it's worth the choice, before she blows her whistle. Despite keeping her feminine appearance and keeping the same name, Tillie is voiced by a male in the German dub probably because the word for train, "der Züg," is masculine in German.
