Originally serving as two of three tail Cargo Cars, these cars were overrun by stowaways later named "Tailies" during Snowpiercers departure from Chicago.
History
A cannibal kill cult once existed in the Tail, before Andre Layton killed it’s leader and brought it to a end, Layton and a group of Tailies then ate a piece of the leader’s heart and vowed never again. During the Year Three Rebellion the Tail revolted, but was blind at every door and was defeated, 62 were killed and 13 (including Old Ivan) lost a arm.
Seven years after departure, the Tail had their rations cut again and were being starved to extinction. The women were being sterilized and there had not been a child born in the Tail for five years. After celebrating his 84th birthday, Old Ivan hangs himself, causing the Tail to revolt. After the failed revolution, Suzanne has her arm frozen as punishment.
Technology
Interior
The Cargo Cars offer very little space and a tight environment, just big enough to survive in. Considering almost 400 sparks live in just these three cars (Docking Car included), there is an extreme lack of personal space, as noted by Old Ivan. The cars consist mostly of bunk beds (that were once shelf’s) on each side, and some space for barrels of stored Protein Bars, water and medicine. There is a hole in the hull that is used by the Jackboots to freeze arms off Tailies as punishment.
