== History == Little is known about the inception of the company, other than prior to the freeze. It is known to have built bridges in Serbia therefore presumably offering train service there. Wilford was apparently Chicago's most powerful and had parties on his trains for days. Melanie Cavill was contracted by Mr. Wilford to design a Luxury Liner, the Wilford Industries Global Express. The company first developed and constructed a Prototype Engine nicknamed [[Big Alice (Engine)|Big Alice]], Melanie Cavill then built the [[The Engine|Eternal Engine]] for the Global Express. Both Engines used Perpetual Motion Technology. This Liner (which earned the nickname, Wilford's Dreamliner) would cruise a 318,000km long track, stretched across the globe. Many major cities were included in this railway track, including Moscow, Berlin, Paris, Jerusalem, Bangkok, Singapore, Sydney, Bejing, Anchorage and Panama City.<ref name=":0">[[First, the Weather Changed|S01E01 - First, the Weather Changed]]</ref> [[File:WilfordIndustriesCompound.jpg|thumb|229x229px|Wilford Industries' compound in Chicago.]] Eventually, Mr. Wilford realized that climate change is unavoidable, through the [[CW-7]] chemical agent, and he undertook steps to refit his Luxury Liner into an Ark. Wilford Industries Global Express became Snowpiercer, while Mr. Wilford sold tickets to finance this refit. Ultimately, his goal was not to save humanity but to live his lavish life as long as he could and was eventually taken out of the equation by Melanie Cavill at [[Snowpiercer's Departure]]. Wilford Industries built the Bering Strait Bridge for its train, the Himalaya Roundabout; called the Corkscrew, the Mongols track; undulating efficient terrain (straight), the Oceania Loop, Ottoman Spur, the [[Rocky Mountain Test Track]], and the [[Breslauer Weather Station]] on the test track. It also built autonomous machines, such as maintenance vehicles, [[Track Scaler]]s and plows. It is currently unknown if the [[Suspension Drug]] used by [[The Drawers]] was developed by Wilford Industries, or if it was already commercially available technology.
