Technology[edit | edit source]

The Engine and function seems to be autonomous as no location or a slot for a driver is present, but it does have manual input needs.

Water for the train is collected from intakes on the front sides of the Engine.

Snowpiercer has translation devices that translate languages by pressing it to the throat.

Gilliam had a secret phone behind a Wilford Industries logo, at the end of the train, to Wilford, who also had the same in the Engine.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

Snowpiercer's circular route was 438,000 kilometres long.
Mr. Wilford built the Engine, when he realized CW-7 would freeze the world.
The Engine was also known as the Sacred Engine.
New Years was celebrated when crossing the Yekaterina Bridge. Snowpiercer was derailed by a avalanche, sometime after crossing the bridge, heading east. Also, New Year eggs from Mr. Wilford, with water boiled by the Engine, were given to the train.
According to an interview, the train does not follow the traditional calendar, but rather marks a year as the time it takes to complete one loop of the track.
- This means one train year can vary in length, and may not be 365 days.
15 years ago, in the 3rd year of the train, 7 passengers (The Revolt of the Seven) tried to stop the train, failing, they jumped of the train and only made it a few short yards from the train (left side), before they froze to death and became the frozen 7. One of which was a maid in the lead car, a Inuit, who knew all about the ice and snow and believed she could survive outside.
The Tailies were fed Protein bars.
In the film, Kronole is a addictive, harmful drug and a potent explosive. There was a drug car for it and a bomb, made from it, caused the avalanche that derailed the train.
There was a portal to the outside, in the Tail (left side), used to freeze the arms off of Tailies, as punishment.
Snowpiercer ran successfully for 18 years, before a part went extinct, forcing Tim to replace it and keep the train going manually, shortly before being derailed in 2031.
Only 4 cars and part of one survived the derailment, part of one in the tunnel entrance, 1 in the tunnel and 2 connected to the Engine.
