I like your premise, but as I'm sorta seeing with a lot of other submissions, I personally would've preferred you left your stats/chargen sparse and dealt with the setting and what makes a train so interesting. I really like the idea of mapping out such a frantic course as a group, but the size of that table (and its instructions) compared to the abilities seems a bit off. The sorts of things you find in a train would (IMO) be a better inclusion than explaining the whole Athletics/Engineering/Intelligence thing. I would have also proffered the last point (things related to your backstory get a bonus dice) have been expanded a bit. It sorta feels like a narrative mechanic shoved into a more standard chargen. It's an interesting and valid method of conflict resolution, I'd just rather see more focus on it. Other than that though, it sounds like a fun night of mapping out an apocalyptic subway.
