I think the idea is that the train was pre-existing, and it has some kind of perpetual motion engine which keeps it going and which the occupants can siphon off heat for warmth and electricity.
- midoridensha 4y agoOk, but if you have a perpetual motion engine (or at least a nuclear reactor with basically unlimited fuel), wouldn't it make more sense to take it out of the train, put it into an underground building, and live there? There's plenty of pre-existing underground spaces in large cities, even with their own train systems. It wouldn't be that hard to abandon the above-ground stuff for the most part, and start expanding the below-ground stuff for people to live in. Even modern-day trains don't cope well with heavy snowfall; the idea of the last vestiges of humanity living on a train traveling around the world endlessly, where they have to worry about being derailed by the weather at any time, doesn't seem to make sense.
