Then what is the difference between the novel and the movie version?

Poirot's mustache is different
Kenneth Branagh costume designer who acts as Hercule Poirot chooses a dense, plentiful, and gray mustache. This is very different from what Christie describes in her novel, where Poirot's mustache is colored and carefully preserved.

The character is made different
Although there are 12 suspects in both books and movies, the character is a bit different in the movie. Colonel Arbunthnot is a doctor. The Swedish Greta Ohlsson was replaced by Pilar Estravados, played by Penelope Cruz. The Italian Car Salesman became Cuban Biniamino Marquez, played by Manuel Garcia-Rulfo. Cyrus Hardman became a German named Gerhard-Hardman for a while. Waiter Ratchett is much older in this movie than the 39-year-old waitress described in the book.

A snow storm in this movie
In the trailer we can see the snow falling off the side of the mountain and falling on the train tracks so blocking the train course, it is almost a doom to the Orient Express. But in the book depicted the train suddenly stopped but not because of the abundance of snow that descends from the mountain.

Hecter McQueen stole money from Ratchett before he died
This happened after he tried to jump off the train and burn the evidence before Poirot found it. In the book, he admitted early on that he was connected to Daisy Armstrong's case through his father, but admitted not knowing Ratchett and Cassetti's abductors were one and the same.

Hercule Poirot should been shot
Doctor Arbuthnot shot Poirot but not to kill him but to prove he was a sniper. This scene is not in the movie.
