Did You Know?
| Trivia | The train needs to be in constant motion, which happens due to its perpetual engine (as seen on the blueprints in the opening sequence) called the "Eternal Engine". If the train were to stop for more than thirteen minutes, everyone would freeze to death. See more » |
| Goofs | Railroad tracks require regular maintenance. There is nobody repairing the rails and the train would pretty quickly derail on faulty tracks, no matter how technologically advanced the train is. See more » |
