Melanie is waiting for the train to arrive and gets really happy when she sees Snowpiercer. However, Wilford accelerates the locomotive and doesn’t stop the train. The train was accelerating and sped past Melanie without stopping. The train leaves and we see Melanie stranded in the snow while her daughter, Alex (Rowan Blanchard), screams “mom” multiple times before getting really far from her.

But, why didn’t Wilford stop the train? Melanie has always been loyal to her work and went for collecting research data on Wilford’s command.

Why didn’t Wilford stop Snowpiercer for Melanie?

Wilford knew that once Melanie comes back, she will take the control of the train and won’t spare him. If she is on the train, Melanie will have the chance of taking control of the main engine and that would have taken all the powers away from him. Secondly, he knows that most of the people on the locomotive are against him. Bringing Melanie back will be his doom and he will never be able to return on the train.

One more reason he doesn’t stop the train is the research that she is doing. Melanie went to the research station for finding new hotspots where people can colonize. Wilford doesn’t seem to be keen on re-colonizing the earth because it will take away everything he has.

 
So, Wilford has many reasons for not stopping the train because he is one of the few people who know everything about Snowpiercer and he wants the people to believe that he is the master and everyone else is a slave.

'Snowpiercer' will return to TNT with Season 3.
