In The Train Demanded Blood, Robert and Lilah Folger and 8 other First Class passengers are sent to their deaths when seven cars of the train are disconnected by Melanie, Layton, Bennett, and Miles.

Melanie states that she drained Snowpiercer’s batteries too much trying to escape from Wilford. As a result, the train could never move on it's own again. However before the Pirate Train was created, Bojan Boscovic said that Big Alice has enough juice for systems to survive. Which means Big Alice recharged the batteries, some point after the sabotage of the Engine and was powering Snowpiercer. However, without Snowpiercer’s engine, the energy it provided was only enough to support essential systems on the train. As a result, it was minus degrees inside the train and all resources were rationed. First Class was even decommissioned by Wilford to save energy.

Numerous Carriages are shown to be preceded by intermediary Utility and Battery Cars. Those cars are necessary to maintain life support systems (water, electricity, temperature, air quality...) all along the train. Battery Cars mainly house power banks to accumulate power as the train travels. At least 37 Battery Cars were offline after the civil war.

Over the next six months, Layton and his crew searched for a habitable location without success, eventually finding a survivor, Asha, in a power plant in North Korea. Sykes became a member of the crew, claiming that she was simply doing her part as a prisoner of war, but showing a possible wavering loyalty to Wilford. It's also revealed that Martin Colvin had become an accidental stowaway on the Pirate Train. During this time, Big Alice and Snowpiercer became a "rolling gulag" under Wilford's rule, with First Class decommissioned for the time being and everyone forced to work. Due to Big Alice powering the two trains alone, the passengers were forced to live in freezing temperatures with low power. However, Wilford chose not to go through with a culling due to Layton having Miss Audrey as a hostage. In Layton's absence, a secret resistance against Wilford continued to operate, now under the leadership of Ruth Wardell who foiled a plot by Wilford to use an EMP weapon to disable the Pirate Train upon its return. Elaine Kao as Anne Roche (seasons 2–3): Sam's wife, who is ambivalent about supporting Layton, and considers supporting Wilford. She is later discovered to have died in the Drawers during her six months trapped there. Maybe the difference is that today we seem closer than ever to the breaking point. We’ve never done enough to really change anything, and I don’t think we will until it’s too late. Third Class Passengers and Tail section survivors represent 70% of the once 3,000 souls onboard Snowpiercer (approximately 2,100 persons).

Unfortunately I never got to meet Lob himself. My first book was published the year he died, in 1990. a b Metcalf, Mitch (February 1, 2022).

Third Class keeps Snowpiercer running and touches every system on the train. They work seven days a week, three shifts a day to keep the bearings greased and the cold at bay. They draw straws to have children and die from preventable accidents and diseases that First Class (and possibly Second Class) get treatment for. Petski, Denise (March 27, 2018).

Papermaker Walter Flemming (#3163) was an elderly Third Class passenger who was in charge of making paper for the train. Walter acts as one of the judges on LJ Folger's tribunal and later assisted Andre Layton's revolution. Captured during the revolution, he was executed with the Lung of Ice. a b Metcalf, Mitch (February 2, 2021). "Updated: ShowBuzzDaily's Top 150 Monday Cable Originals & Network Finals: 2.1.2021".

However, it is impossible to chip out of the Tail even with a chip granting access to potentially the entire train. In the Year Three Rebellion the Tail revolted, but was blind at every door and was defeated, 62 were killed and 13 (including Old Ivan) lost an arm.
