Library Car

From Snowpiercer Wiki

The Library Car is where First Class passengers could read and relax during their trip and remember the world before the Freeze.

History[edit | edit source]

The library car presumably existed before the Freeze, as a place for first class passengers to have access to lots of reading material.

Technology[edit | edit source]

The library has a secret storage compartment behind one of the shelves, by the tables, which contain cigars and alcohol. There is also a phone on the second floor for communicating with the Engine.

Interior[edit | edit source]

The library's interior is similar to other first class cars, with lots of lavish wood paneling similar to the hospitality office. There is a colorful skylight detailed with a large hanging Earth sculpture and a cage. There is also a spiral staircase that leads to the top floor which looks down into the first and also contains a raised up observation room, at the front of the car, for observing the surroundings outside the train.

Throughout the Series[edit | edit source]

In The Time of Two Engines, it was revealed that there's a Library Car. One of the things Mr. Wilford demands is the book Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier.
