Big Alice also known as Engine Eternal Prototype is the propulsion method of secondary supply train of the same name. The Engine is a perpetual motion machine that propels the train forward without any obvious need for fuel or maintenance. The secondary function of the Eternal Engine is also that of a powerplant for car bogie-motors and on-board batteries. As such, the speed of the train is directly tied to its power supply.
