Pirate Train

The Pirate train.

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 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.

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.
• 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.
