=== Snowpiercer (Series Train): 1001 Cars Long ===
This page categorizes [[Snowpiercer]] car-by-car. All 1001 cars long. Only canon cars are included (car number given (or determined) on screen.) The two-dimensional illustrations of the cars are from Alex Nice<ref>https://www.artstation.com/artwork/kD49O2</ref>.

Based on in-universe math, the average length of the cars is little over 16 meters or 52.5 feet. Based on the blueprint of the Brakeman's Garrison in the title credits of the series, however, a typical car is about only 40 feet long and 13 feet 6 inches wide (12.2m long and 4.1m wide). From external images of the train, the height of cars seems to vary between about 1.5 and 2 times the width (20-26 feet, or 6-8m tall) and would fit about two stories and a half.

Based on the concept art by Alex Nice, the train is even larger, being around 9 meters wide, 12 meters tall and 65 meters long per car (83 meters at the engine). This would make the 1001 car train exceed a length of 38 miles or 65.1 km. This is probably the closest to the actual dimensions since most cars have 2 levels, plus the Sub-Train and the wheel mechanisms underneath them. However, the scale used during the set is downscaled.

According to Wilford, the train is 10 miles long<ref>[[Many Miles From Snowpiercer]]</ref> ("Three thousand souls stufffed into a ten miles steel tube"). This would put the average length of a carriage at 15.56m (10 miles = 16.09km, 16.09km = 16,090m, 16,090m/1034 carriages = 15.56m per carriage).
