Wilford shouldn't be the incompetent person Melanie described as "only selling tickets, just wanting to be successful". The Snow Country Train should have been designed and built jointly by him and Melanie. Melanie was responsible for the technical design of the train, while Wilford was responsible for the fund-raising and the construction of the train and social form design. The two cooperated very well at the beginning, but then Wilford’s social design aroused dissatisfaction with Melanie. Melanie is a somewhat idealistic scientist. She must be dissatisfied with the society Wilford built, so Before driving, Melanie left Wilford on the track. But even if Melanie is in power, the train society designed by Wilford has taken shape, and she has no power to change and can only do her best to maintain it. Wilford, who was left on the track, got on another train, the supply train. Wilford's ability can be seen from the fact that another train can last for seven years and is more technologically advanced than the Snow Country train. Wilford is more like a ruthless politician, a real elite in the upper echelons, and Melanie is more like a technical director, so Melanie seems a little powerless when dealing with social disputes on the train.
