| — Wilford Industries | ||
Wilford Industries is a large organization responsible for designing, building, and maintaining multiple trains, including Snowpiercer and secondary supply train Big Alice. It is unknown how many trains the company owns in total.
There are only a limited number of people aware of the company's leadership, and each plays a vital part in keeping order aboard the train.
History
Little is known about the inception of the company, other than prior to the freeze. It was known to have built bridges in Siberia and trains for Wilford that he (and Chicago’s most powerful) had parties on, 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, Melanie Cavill then built the Eternal Engine, both used Perpetual Motion Technology. This Liner was operational for one or more years[1] before the Freeze and 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.[2]
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.
Wilford Industries also built the Bering Strait Bridge for its train, the Himalaya Roundabout; called the Corkscrew (to turn the train around), the Mongols track; undulating efficient terrain (straight), a secondary line; test track over the Rocky Mountains called Neckbreaker and the Breslauer Weather Station in the Rocky Mountain's near the test track.
It is currently unknown if the suspended animation technology used by The Drawers was developed by Wilford Industries, or if it was already commercially available technology.
