Amputative Sentencing is the more fitting trope here


* AmputativeSentencing: In an example of an obviously well-rehearsed punishment, Andrew's arm is frozen and then smashed off after he throws a shoe at Wilford's assistant, Claude.

* RedHerring: [[spoiler: Early on, Andrew gets his arm frozen and shattered as a punishment. When the elders of the tail section come to collect him, many of them have missing limbs, and most viewers will probably assume they were also punished for insubordination. The truth is much worse. They cut off their limbs [[ImAHumanitarian to feed the other passengers.]]]]

* FauxAffablyEvil:
** Mason speaks to the tail-enders like a disappointed schoolmarm while dispassionately [[AnArmAndALeg having their limbs frozen and shattered for disobedient behavior]] and reveling in them being slaughtered by the dozens.
** Wilford himself seems affable enough at first, despite his role in oppressing the tail-enders, [[spoiler:until he casually turns the phone to Curtis so he can hear the remaining tail-enders being executed, and later brushes off using ''children'' to keep the train running.]]

Added DiffLines:

* SecretCompartment: Every car on the train has a sigil on one wall, and almost no one thinks much of it. In fact, behind these sigils are telephones that let Director Wilford communicate covertly with his minions. This is how he can orchestrate and later quell a Staged Populist Uprising.
