Snowpiercer Geography - Tumblr Posts

If this is the case, then it would make sense that the frozen cityscape the Snowpiercer passed through would be the last major Russian city close to the location of the Yekaterina Bridge and Tunnel. Given that the speed of the train is 70-80 kilometers per hour, it really wouldn't take the train that long to leave the last frozen urban landscape of Russia and arrive at the New Year's Day marker in the same day (as was shown in the film).

And since we're taking about geography here, I'd like to put in my thoughts as to the exact location of where Yona and Timmy stepped out of the wreckage because the Snowpiercer's derailment happened a day after Happy Yekaterina Bridge. I would go as far to say that Yona and Timmy ended up somewhere in the Verkhoyansk Mountain Range, which is bordering close to the Arctic Circle, and as we all know... polar bears live in the Arctic Circle.

In regards to the logistics question posed by another user earlier, the Snowpiercer would definitely be within Russia by the time the Tail Section rebels take their first look outside the window since New Years Day happens in Russia (the map in the classroom video clearly shows it). And judging by the look of the expansive and precarious Yekaterina Bridge, I'd say Wilford built the tracks through the terrain of the Ural Mountains in Siberia.

Yep I definitely think they should be in Russia, or at least next to it. Probably not a big city though, since it doesn’t seem to have much besides a train station and some buildings (i.e not Moscow).

Now, I was going to argue with your argument, because I had searched on Google Maps, there’s a place named Ekaterina in Russia that can be found, in the middle of nowhere, and it didn’t seem like Siberia to me…

But actually I know nothing (Jon’ Snowpiercer) because the Ural Mountains aren’t that far!

So yeah it’s possible that the events of this day happen between these two points.

Now all we need is a Russian fan to tell us their opinion, that would be great!
