The train must be refueled, the passengers must be fed, and the cars must be repaired and protected. People are constantly creating problems. First, each person brings with them fear that the fog can use against everyone. Secondly, they may not trust the hero, because he does not come out of the cab to them and communicates with only the help of notes, or read him too much. Thirdly, the rescued characters will sooner or later be divided into 4 groups, depending on their views on the horror happening around.
