在常例的「開拓」之旅中，列車組成員將乘坐安全穩定的降落艙，登陸到預定坐標點；而在變例的「開拓」之旅中，星穹列車會分離出末節車廂作為降落艙使用，並隨車廂搭載充足的維生資源，確保無名客在著陸後，能夠以車廂為安全屋展開行動。
根據列車記錄，星穹列車領航員「雞窩頭」鮑勃曾多次使用分離車廂的方式進行著陸，列車車廂的回收率僅有42.4%，而已回收車廂的返修率為100%…自那以後，分離車廂的降落方式被列車長明令禁止，僅在極少數的情況下，被作為特殊的「後備方案」使用。
In standard trailblazing expeditions, the Express Crew uses secure and stable landing pods to descend to designated coordinates. However, in exceptional trailblazing expeditions, the Astral Express detaches its last coach to serve as a landing pod. This coach is equipped with ample life-support resources, ensuring that the Nameless can use it as a safe house for operations after landing.
According to the Express records, Touslehead Bob the Astral Express Navigator frequently used the detached-coach method for landings. The recovery rate for the detached coaches was only 42.4%, and of the recovered coaches, 100% required repairs. The detached-coach landing method has been explicitly prohibited by the conductor since then, only to be used as a special backup plan in extremely rare circumstances.
