Mr. Wilford's cassette tape... Now the question does not leave my head: did he really exist, but something happened during the movement of the train, or is she using someone's voice as a cover from the very beginning?

In the second, it seems, series, they showed an internal transport system for fast movement between wagons

@Voider: in the side view, the upper residential and technical wagons are clearly visible, and from below there is something like a base under each wagon, here in this base is the transport artery, all segments of the base are connected to a single network

@jezzit: Imho, it's not an indicator - she could have used some actor/engineer from Lokomotiv from the very beginning in order not to shine...
And anyway, the head of security could have been privy to the details. It's not that the identity of the "mister" is completely secret - there are trusted people - the same engineers, for example...

@Lipena: I think Wilford did exist, it was necessary for someone to make a fortune, become famous and sell tickets for their train. I don't see the point of Melanie (that's her name, right?) pretending to be a non-existent man even before the planet freezes.

It is much more logical to assume that Wilford either died, Melanie is involved in this and this will be shown to us in flashbacks, or he is lying in an artificial coma and waiting to be woken up if there are any serious problems with the train.

Next, a spoiler for the movie! In the second case, the series does not contradict the film and the film may well show the real Wilford, who was woken up to deal with the failure of some part of the engine (which he successfully replaced with small children, and for this he allowed the tailfins to breed)

I've watched 3 episodes so far, but in the second episode there was a moment when Melanie's assistant turned over her badge with the letter W, and said "that's better", I noticed it, because the inverted W is M and the first letter of Melanie's name

I am interested in such a moment - they drive in a circle, respectively, how can they afford to unhook the car if they crash into it on the next lap? In addition, as I personally understood, they cannot slow down in any way at all, so there can be no question of braking, transferring the car to other tracks, etc. So... how the hell is it?

As for "Mr." Wilford, it seems to me that he did exist initially, otherwise why such complex schemes with cutting his soundtracks. Something had obviously happened to the man. Another question is whether he was actually the most important person in this whole scheme or deliberately a fake, like the captain in Avenue 5, because the lady is fumbling too much anyway. But such projects cannot be created alone in any case. So the next question is, what difference does it make to us, the audience, who drives in the end?..

@Finally: I looked at the phrase in the original : cut the empty weight loose onto a siding. I Googled where they use only a siding and made sure that we are talking about a "backup" path. And maybe they can change the route a little, then they won't have to stop)

@CheeseMite: an option is possible, however, provided that they still cannot slow down the speed, how long should this alternate route be in order to unhook the car on the move and predict that it will stop where they need and will not roll off to another route after a while, no one will put props. It can be assumed that, of course, it will freeze to the tracks as soon as it finally stops (and then if there is no slope on the ground), in short... The plan is questionable, anyway. However, the whole plan in this scheme is obviously questionable, so okay, good luck to this train!

@Finally: I would build some kind of automatic derailment mechanism into the cars, like if you unhook them, they would turn over on their side or, so to speak, "jump" off the rails to the side, going off the track and not interfering with the train. Don't ask me about the feasibility of such an option, everything is possible in fiction) And then every year, passing by abandoned wagons, you can conduct historical excursions)

complicated schemes to conceal Mr. Wilford just to know what the passengers really think about him. And Melanie uses it very well. Plus security. Maybe someone wants to kill Wilford, for example. In general, it's like superheroes who do not reveal their identity, eventually lose laurels and honors, but gain the safety of their loved ones.

I didn't really understand something, the nonsense in the capsule that is being passed back and forth (if I followed the logic correctly) is this an RFID tag for access to the second class? But then why is it so easy to pass it from hand to hand?

And today I have such a question. 1st grade, well, they're kind of rich, and all that, but now where do they get the money from? All their assets, businesses, and so on are in the past, off the train. And no matter how nobody they are on this train, that is, neither better nor worse than the rest... So why do they remain in their privileged position?

@Vitos84: An investment. Apparently, it is a very large investment in the project, giving the right to this most lifelong privileged position for all family members and, most likely, their descendants.
Of course, if everything goes exactly in one place, it will not be up to class differences, but it should be absolutely bad. Something in the spirit of "the train got up and the residual energy is only enough to heat one car, whoever managed to get in."

In general, the plot of the series is somewhat similar to that of Ascension - a murder investigation in a "small" closed system divided into classes. It would be funny if the denouement turned out to be something similar))

And I am tormented by the question: that is, the police did not get on the train, but the cleaners did? Did the selection for the position of cleaner take place from the cleaners? I am sure that people would pay a lot of money for the opportunity to become a cleaner in order to survive.

It happens that the visual series, actors, characters or an interesting storyline make you forget about the idiocy of the shown world order, but this is clearly another case. I like Connelly, but the main character is not just devoid of charisma, he has it in the red. And even though I was interested in the detective line, not for a second could I forget about this insanity with the train. And there are some oddities with the morality of the screenwriters. It's an extremely dumb series.
