== Trivia == * Wilford Industries is the company behind Wilford Industries Global Express. A luxury ride around the world on board a luxury liner train. * The company presumably had major facilities near Chicago, as both Snowpiercer and Big Alice were located there. * Unlike in the [[Snowpiercer (film)|film]], the train owned by Wilford Industries was run by Melanie Cavill pretending to be Mr. Wilford, until being discovered. * Passengers sometimes greet each other by hand movement over their chest in the shape of "W". * [[Bojan Boscovic]] had worked for Wilford since he was 14, [[Aleks Paunovic]] who portrays Boki was born in 1969, which means Wilford Industries existed at least from 1983 until the Freeze happened. * Wilford Industries motto is (Honor. Order. Work.). * Wilford Industries built The Wilford Industries Digital Automation System (The Engine's brain), and The Self Regulating Harmonic Module (The God Module). * According to news clippings on the Wilford memorial in the [[Tea Room]], advertisement posters in the [[The Hospitality Car|Hospitality Car]] and a flashback from [[Many Miles From Snowpiercer]], the Eternal Engine was built for the Wilford Industries Global Express. * Even though they did do work (Sanitation), the [[The Tail|Tailies]] were not considered employees. * After Layton tells [[Asha]] she's on Snowpiercer, she isn't confused what that is and is surprised it survived, which means the Wilford Industries Global Express was also known as Snowpiercer, before it was secretly turned into an ark. * The fact that a rail yard exists (in northeast China) for trains the size of Snowpiercer and Big Alice in [[The First Blow]], suggests that giant trains were an emerging industry, or industry, before the Freeze. Also as revealed by Wilford's map at the end of [[Ouroboros]] and a computer map in [[Setting Itself Right]], there are alternate track routes across the Earth. * The Track switches operate on battery power (presumably once connected to the grid). * The Track Scaler and automated vehicles (presumably) had facilities around the world, and operated all over the world. Also due to the fact that Snowpiercer had a crane and room for it onboard, as well as a spur track that brought it next to the train, the Wilford Industries Global Express, must have preformed occasional maintenance on the vehicles.
