I think they're going to tire it out - use the laser pointer thingy to "burn" those extra cars and Agatha's going to blow up potential food to get it small.  Small enough to carry around?  Put back into captivity?  Not sure on that.  But I still think it's going to be used to get back into Mechanicsburg - maybe to eat the time fields? 

I do wonder if it was created with those abilities or if it learned those on it's own.  It's an impressive piece of sparkiness either way. 

As for the driver/engineer - I don't think the Monks are going to let the train out of their sight willingly.  So I'm guessing one of them will continue to travel with the train (and Agatha), assuming she's going to Paris first.

Small enough to carry around is an interesting theory, but how much would you have to feed it to get it big enough to use it again?

 

Now that the monks have an alliance with Tweedle, is it likely that Agatha will allow one of them to go with her. It's really her train and when it comes right down to it, they probably couldn't stop her.

 

I'm excited to see the Swartzwalders back and seemingly on our side now. I can't wait to hear how that plays out.
