Train45 Puzzle Solutions
Terminal cars are phone-map puzzles, not extra anomaly types. Buy the matching butler or story hint, type the car numbers, and ride. Order usually does not matter; the table below follows the clue order so you can audit your inventory.
How Terminal Puzzles Work
Mid-game unlocks the phone map. Each hint item — torn fan, padlock, broken clock, Konial’s Memo — points at a destination. Enter the listed car numbers. First arrival at most terminals permanently raises equipment capacity. Visiting all 19 unlocks Terminal Master.
Do not guess. Hints for destinations 9–19 are butler shop stock. Special-event terminals also require the correct companion in the party; the portrait on the hint is the tell. Wrong companion means a wasted loop. Pair this table with Character Events and Terminal Routes.
v1.0.4.3 rewrote the Japanese clock hint after players misread the offset. The math: pocket watch shows 1:20:40 and runs 3 hours 15 minutes fast, so the real time is 10:05:40 → cars 10 + 5 + 40.

Solving from the Environment
When a hint names a phenomenon instead of a number, walk that anomaly car and read wall graffiti, punched tickets, or clock faces. Japanese writeups list a walking order for several sets (hot spring 15→1→27, dark room 2→3→10→41, punched ticket 50→23→47). The phone usually accepts the same cars in any order; use the table above to audit inventory.
Padlock is read on flooding car 15: from the needle, left 2 / right 4 / left 3 / right 6 → 1-2-13-8 (same four cars as 13-2-1-8). Empty milk bottle back face is a 5, not a 2. Groper Warning is any three of 6 / 32 / 34 / 38 / 49; the blocked-keyhole lock lets you purify during exposure-theme partner scenes. Numbered terminals 01–08 drop Quiet Alarm Clock, Daruma, Used Lipstick, Empty Beer Can, Rough Fan, Broken Key, Blocked Keyhole Lock, and Ancient Record Tablet.
Collaboration Car: stop all three reels on the rabbit mark, then inspect the dropped ball. All 777 is tickets only; a miss restarts 46-45-31. After v1.0.5.1, Deck users enter codes with the same phone UI. If a route fails, confirm the hint, the companion, and that the Copper Bracelet is off — Phone Map. Track clears on the checklist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does car order matter?
Usually no. Enter the set listed on the hint. This table uses clue order so you can match graffiti and ticket punches.
Why won’t a terminal open?
Missing hint item, Copper Bracelet still equipped, or the wrong companion on an event terminal. Buy the hint first.
How many terminals are there?
Nineteen destinations. All nineteen unlock Terminal Master. The engine room is the nineteenth.
What changed in the clock puzzle patch?
v1.0.4.3 clarified the Japanese hint. The watch is 3 hours 15 minutes fast: 1:20:40 becomes 10:05:40 (cars 10, 5, 40).
