Breslauer Weather Station: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 20:41, 6 March 2021

Breslauer Weather Station is a weather station in the Rocky Mountains built by Wilford Industries. It is located at an elevation of 3.6km, several kilometers from the Rocky Mountains Test Track railroad system. The track's Berthoud Curve is the closest that Snowpiercer can get to it.

History

When The Freeze came, a team of three people tried to survive at the station, but they ran out of food, and by five months they had all killed themselves or one another.

Seven years later, Melanie Cavill left Snowpiercer, traveled to the station and booted it up, to do research on CW-7 in the upper atmosphere, using weather balloons launched from Snowpiercer's engine as it made a short loop around Asia before it would return to collect her a month later.

Melanie had lost all the food rations she had brought with her when an avalanche of ice and rock destroyed her sled before she could unload it, and the station's crew had long since eaten nearly all the food that was left before they died. But she later discovered a previously unknown geothermal vent hidden behind one of the Station's walls, where a colony of rats had been surviving the Freeze for seven years; she began catching and cooking some of these rats to survive.

Melanie did complete the climate research data, though she had failed to promptly respond to one of Snowpiercer's balloons because the weather station's radio tower collapsed while she was there. She repaired the tower and restored her link with the balloons. Now without a sled, Melanie had to carry her research and walk from the station back to the Rocky Mountains Test Track. Snowpiercer (or at least Alexandra Cavill inside Big Alice) was aware of her presence trackside, but the train sped past her without stopping.

Crew

The Station had three crew members: a husband and wife and a male coworker.

Technology

The Station has a array of solar panels for power and a radio tower.

Appearances

Season Two

Trivia

The dead woman in the chair, may be a homage to the 1982 and 2011 film The Thing. In both cases a individual commits suicide by slitting their wrist, in a research station, in a cold hostile environment.
