Library Car

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.

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.
