Trivia
- Snowpiercer’s circular route was 438,000 kilometres long.
- 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.
- 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.
