Editing Pirate Train

[[File:SnowpiercerEngineAlex.jpg|thumb|The Pirate train.|350px]]
The '''Pirate train''' is a small train created out of the first ten cars of ''[[Snowpiercer]]'' in order for its crew to exist outside of [[Joseph Wilford]]'s control and fight back.
==History==
With both ''Snowpiercer'' and ''[[Big Alice]]'' under Wilford's full control, Alexandra Cavill proposed disconnecting the first ten cars of ''Snowpiercer'' in order to create a separate pirate train to go after [[Melanie Cavill|her mother]]. Bojan Boscovic confirmed that ''Big Alice'' could handle powering both trains while they were gone, but that it would hobble Wilford, leaving the smaller, faster pirate train able to outrun him. After agreeing to the plan, Andre Layton began assembling his crew out of his remaining loyalists with Bennett Knox, Boki, Alex, Ruth Wardell and Bess Till agreeing to join him while keeping Miss Audrey as a hostage to ensure Wilford's good behavior while they were away. In addition, the crew also had Wilford's Head of Security Sykes as a prisoner after she was captured by Bennett. However, [[Zarah Ferami]] chose to stay behind with ''Snowpiercer'' due to the dangers of their plan, confident that Wilford wouldn't dare to harm her due to Zarah's pregnancy.

In order to disconnect the train, Boki began a manual override of the J-Links in [[the Aquarium]], the one car that could be disconnected for safety reasons even during a lockdown while Layton distracted Wilford and laid out his threat to Audrey. However, while Boki succeeded in disabling one J-Link, 7 [[Jackboots]] attacked him, preventing him from disconnecting the other while he fought them off. During this time, Wilford sent [[Josie Wellstead]] outside to breach [[the Engine]], but Bennett contacted her and redirected Josie to the Aquarium instead. On Bennett's order, Josie breached the Aquarium, causing the destruction of the entire car and killing Boki and the attacking Jackboots but successfully separating the trains. However, Ruth was left behind on ''Snowpiercer'' after being delayed by [[Kevin McMahon]], preventing her from reaching the front of the train in time.

The new pirate train returned to the [[Breslauer Weather Station]] for Melanie, only to find her gone and the last of her power preserving her vital data. Melanie's data revealed several areas of the Earth that were warming and that could potentially be used for recolonization. Layton ordered his crew to go after ''Snowpiercer'' and ''Big Alice'', intending to get ''Snowpiercer'' back.

For the next six months, the pirate train searched the globe for a habitable location based on Melanie's data without success. It was eventually discovered that that First Class passenger [[Martin Colvin]] had inadvertently stowed away, having fallen asleep in his cabin which was located within the ten cars. Miss Audrey was locked up within a cage in the library car, but Sykes became cooperative as time went on, helping the crew out in small ways which Sykes claimed was simply her doing her part as a prisoner of war. While taking samples in North Korea, Bennett fell through a roof and had to be rescued by Layton and Josie. Due to overheating problems with the Engine, Alex and Till were forced to take the train and leave before the problems prevented the train from ever moving again. As the two women worked to repair the issues and return, Martin released Audrey with the two intending to force Alex to reconnect with ''Snowpiercer'' instead of going back. Sykes, who showed a wavering loyalty to Wilford, refused to help them and allowed herself to be locked up instead. Although Audrey and Martin briefly succeeded in taking the Engine, Till escaped, quickly subdued them both and convinced Alex not to give up hope. Upon the pirate train's return, they picked up Bennett and Josie and were soon after joined by Layton who brought with him a survivor that he'd found.

==Trivia==
*According to Bennett, due to being disconnected from ''Snowpiercer'', the Engine is now a Ferrari and will be running hot, leading to noticeably increased temperatures inside the train and steam coming out of the outside while it's parked.
*Due to its smaller size, the train is capable of stopping and starting again, something that ''Snowpiercer'' could no longer do often.
*The train (presumably) does not have any Battery Cars, however, because it is so small, the Engine can power the entire train.
* Because of it’s small size, the Engine has more power and when stopped has to vent to prevent a meltdown, or start moving again (and vent), however if it vents to much, it won’t be able to move again.
* To prevent a meltdown, the Engine needs 8 minutes to get up to speed and 10 to 12 minutes to run a discharge sequence, starting at 20km/hour and increasing to 75km/hour.
*Both Ruth and Bojan were intended crewmembers of the pirate train. However, Ruth was left behind after being delayed by Kevin and thus taking too long to reach the Aquarium while Boki was killed in the Aquarium's destruction.
**Both were former Wilford loyalists who sided with Layton after seeing Wilford for who he truly is.
*It's currently unknown if the pirate train is going to get an official name of its own.
