Inside The Snowpiercer 03 : Greenhouse Section + Classroom Section Nearly midway through the train lies the verdant Greenhouse Section, which is officially considered as part of the Front Section. This area houses an impressive display full of plants, fruits, and vegetables. Yet the flora and edible food cultivated here is minimal and strictly controlled since the car was never designed to provide speedy production food supplies. Only the privileged few from the Front get to taste the produce cultivated in the Greenhouse. This car serves nothing more than an exhibition and leisure space, offering the Front Section passengers to enjoy a bit of greenery in contrast to the barren and icy world outside the confines of the Snowpiercer. As the train ride prolonged, the adults of the Front Section raised needs for proper education to their young children. But the curriculum, however, is drastically different from what was previously taught on a pre-ice age Earth, as the lessons learned by the children of the Front covers the history of the train and unquestioned veneration for Wilford--the creator of the Snowpiercer. The Classroom Section is more of a daycare school where the Front Section adults merely drop off their kids while they enjoy their leisures in peace. The design of the car itself--from the hyper-saturated color scheme, wooden desks, and an organ altar in the front reserved for the Teacher (Alison Pill)--highly suggests that the train's academic institution was built with a religious function from the very beginning. On the subject of children, there is a distinction between those who were born on Earth before the new ice age began and those who were born within the Snowpiercer once the nuclear winter destroyed the planet. The latter youths are known as "Train Babies"--generations conceived and birthed aboard the train and have never stepped foot on Earth. For the Train Babies, both from the Front and the Tail, the Snowpiercer is the only world they know. Having been born on the very first year that the train departed, Yona (Ko Ah-Sung)--the daughter of Namgoong Minsu--represents the first generation of the Train Babies. But considering the extreme class division within the confines of the train, the lives of the children from the Tail Section are vastly different from the kids living in the Front. Only the kids from the Front benefit from a pampered lifestyle and receive the cult-like education in the Classroom Section, while the Tail Section children are forced to deal with the hardships of their miserable existence together with their elders, and are subject to a mysterious event that allows the Front to seize selected youths away from their parents by force and be carted off to parts unknown within the Snowpiercer.

Inside The Snowpiercer 01 : Tail Section + Prison Section The Snowpiercer is composed of sixty (60) cars and its last twenty (20) make up the Tail Section. When the world froze, people with no tickets hopped onto these cargo sections. After the Front Section seized control of the food and other useful resources from these cars, people have reinvented the space into residential areas. These sections are overcrowded, are scarce of water, and lack proper heating. While the passengers of the Front enjoy comfortable and affluent lives, the people living in the Tail are trapped in such hellish conditions as access to the Front is denied to them by heavily armed soldiers. +++ The Plaza : Tail Section people are summoned here to receive their rations or sit through humiliating public announcements from the Front Section authorities such as Minister Mason (Tilda Swinton). This is also where the people line up to receive their daily ration of protein blocks from the soldiers. Public Area : Next to the residential area is a communal space for the Tail Section people. It houses bathrooms with very limited water access, a hospital where minimal treatment is available, and a corner known as Painter's Place where the Tail Section's artistic historian resides. Residential Area : This portion of the Tail Section was reconstructed by the passengers with leftover material from the then cargo areas that the Front Section didn't bother to take away. Between a long and narrow corridor stand multi-story beds housing thousands of people. The extremely limited space have forced at least two or three people to share a single bed, with others having to improvise a sleeping sanctuary with hammocks hung between the upper levels of the bedspaces. The Slum : This communal area of the Tail Section is where the passengers go about their everyday lives aboard the train--kids zigzag through narrow corridors, wise men play chess, devotees gather for prayers, and women trade goods with each other. Gilliam's Tent : On the very end of the Snowpiercer resides the guardian of the Tail Section, Gilliam (John Hurt). His tent sits on the complete opposite end of the train as opposed to the Engine Section, where Wilford (Ed Harris) lives. The tent is guarded by the twelve (12) great elders of the Tail Section. Prison Section : Originally, smaller cages housed pigs and chickens while the bigger cells carried horses and cows. The cells now carry political prisoners or criminals who have disturbed the peace of the train, such as Namgoong Minsu (Song Kang-Ho). When the Front seized control of the Tail Section, this area became the border between the Front and the Tail within the Snowpiercer. The armed guards who patrol the Tail Section are required to cleanse themselves in the Quarantine Section.
