Instead of the sky vortex seeming to forcibly absorb a passenger from within the train, said passenger exits the train to enter the portal themselves.

* Owen originally considered making ''Infinity Train'' [[https://www.reddit.com/r/InfinityTrain/comments/co6u6w/owen_and_maddie_here_ask_us_anything/ewgbwfy/?context=8&depth=9 a television movie]]. He then thought of producing it as a longer ongoing show before the network suggested telling it as a miniseries. It was also meant to solely consist of Tulip's story before Cartoon Network expanded their initial episode order from ten to twenty, at which point it became an ongoing anthology series.
** Atticus wasn't originally envisioned as a main character, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HL1jZHHkoE&t=1380s his popularity in the pilot and the fun Owen had writing him]] resulted in him accompanying Tulip and One-One for the remainder of the season.
* It was initially planned for Tulip's parents to tell her that they're planning to divorce in the first episode, rather than already being separated. The conversation seen in [[Recap/InfinityTrainS1E5TheCatsCar "The Cat's Car"]] would have been what motivated Tulip to run away, rather than attempting to get to game design camp.%%Season 1, Episode 5 DVD Commentary

* The Mall Car was one of the [[https://www.reddit.com/r/InfinityTrain/comments/co6u6w/owen_and_maddie_here_ask_us_anything/ewgbecw/ train cars planned for Book One]], though the idea of the Apex didn't yet exist at that point.

* The shorts that became "The Train Documentaries" were originally intended to be vignettes about various background characters, such as one of the pencils in the bank seen at the end of The Chrome Car trying to write a novel. %%Season 1, Episode 7 DVD commentary

* MT was originally planned to be a VillainProtagonist for her Book Two plotline. She would have successfully stolen a number from a new passenger, who would then have to work with One-One to hunt her down and retrieve it, and the passenger would have succeeded in defeating her. The idea was scrapped when the writers realized they liked MT too much and wanted her to win. %%The Writers Panel Podcast - Infinity Train at timestamp 50:30 (https://art19.com/shows/writers-panel/episodes/322c8ca0-291e-429c-bef6-d55845cbe3cf)

* At the start of [[Recap/InfinityTrainS2E3TheMapCar "The Map Car"]], the group would've exited a "salt" car instead of "The Green Car" previously seen in ''The Train Documentaries'' shorts. It was cut due to the associated joke (Alan Dracula refusing to leave because he wanted to continue licking the interior) running too long. %%Season 2, Episode 3 DVD commentary
* Tulip's multi-tool was meant to play a pivot role as MT's AchillesHeel when dealing with the reflection officers. When it came time to write [[Recap/InfinityTrainS2E4TheToadCar "The Toad Car"]], it was deemed an unneeded extra stressor, so the plot point was scrapped. %%Season 2, Episode 4 DVD commentary
** It was also briefly floated for the Mirror Police to have even more weapons and tools at their disposal than "The Lawbreaker", but this was similarly scrapped due to them already being a threat without them. %%Season 2, Episode 4 DVD commentary
* An early draft of [[Recap/InfinityTrainS2E6TheLuckyCatCar "The Lucky Car Car"]] had Khaki Bottoms as The Cat's assistant at the ticket stand, which included a joke about whether or not Jesse and MT could purchase him. The joke had to be scrapped due to the runtime, and he was made a brief cameo instead. %%Season 2, Episode 6 DVD commentary

* Owen originally considered making ''Infinity Train'' [[https://www.reddit.com/r/InfinityTrain/comments/co6u6w/owen_and_maddie_here_ask_us_anything/ewgbwfy/?context=8&depth=9 a television movie]]. He then thought of producing it as a longer ongoing show before the network suggested telling it as a miniseries. It was also meant to solely consist of Tulip's story before Cartoon Network expanded their initial episode order from ten to twenty, at which point it became an ongoing anthology series.
** Atticus wasn't originally envisioned as a main character, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HL1jZHHkoE&t=1380s his popularity in the pilot and the fun Owen had writing him]] resulted in him accompanying Tulip and One-One for the remainder of the season.
* It was initially planned for Tulip's parents to tell her that they're planning to divorce in the first episode, rather than already being separated. The conversation seen in [[Recap/InfinityTrainS1E5TheCatsCar "The Cat's Car"]] would have been what motivated Tulip to run away, rather than attempting to get to game design camp.%%Season 1, Episode 5 DVD Commentary
** [[https://twitter.com/choochoocrew/status/1221522180594270208?s=20 Even earlier in development]], the start of her train journey was also going to be different. She was going to first awaken in a "Bliss Car", sitting in an actual train seat surrounded by dozens of passengers who are being mesmerized by television screens, rather than immediately starting out in the snowfield car where she encounters One-One. Instead of the sky vortex seeming to forcibly absorb a passenger from within the train, said passenger exits the train to enter the portal themselves. Finally, Tulip escapes the Ghom by luring it into the Bliss Car and using the other passengers as distractions.
* The Mall Car was one of the [[https://www.reddit.com/r/InfinityTrain/comments/co6u6w/owen_and_maddie_here_ask_us_anything/ewgbecw/ train cars planned for Book One]], though the idea of the Apex didn't yet exist at that point.
** The episode that would have had this car revolved around [[https://www.reddit.com/r/InfinityTrain/comments/co6u6w/owen_and_maddie_here_ask_us_anything/ewgiy9l/ One-One getting swapped with a dopplegänger]] laid by a giant cowbird when Tulip wasn't looking, which she would have traveled with for several cars before the egg hatched. When she runs back to get the real one at end of the episode and asks why the mother did this, the bird's response is "[[ItAmusedMe Sometimes stuff just happens!]]"
* The shorts that became "The Train Documentaries" were originally intended to be vignettes about various background characters, such as one of the pencils in the bank seen at the end of The Chrome Car trying to write a novel. %%Season 1, Episode 7 DVD commentary
!!Book Two
* MT was originally planned to be a VillainProtagonist for her Book Two plotline. She would have successfully stolen a number from a new passenger, who would then have to work with One-One to hunt her down and retrieve it, and the passenger would have succeeded in defeating her. The idea was scrapped when the writers realized they liked MT too much and wanted her to win. %%The Writers Panel Podcast - Infinity Train at timestamp 50:30 (https://art19.com/shows/writers-panel/episodes/322c8ca0-291e-429c-bef6-d55845cbe3cf)
* The original theme for the second season was inspired by 1980s hip-hop music. %%Season 2, Episode 1 DVD commentary
* Jesse's name was originally Miles, with this only being changed towards the tail-end of writing the season. One of Perry's lines in [[Recap/InfinityTrainS2E5TheParasiteCar "The Parasite Car"]] ("Help me, Jiles and MD!") is a reference to this. %%Season 2, Episode 1 and 5 DVD commentary
* At the start of [[Recap/InfinityTrainS2E3TheMapCar "The Map Car"]], the group would've exited a "salt" car instead of "The Green Car" previously seen in ''The Train Documentaries'' shorts. It was cut due to the associated joke (Alan Dracula refusing to leave because he wanted to continue licking the interior) running too long. %%Season 2, Episode 3 DVD commentary
* Tulip's multi-tool was meant to play a pivot role as MT's AchillesHeel when dealing with the reflection officers. When it came time to write [[Recap/InfinityTrainS2E4TheToadCar "The Toad Car"]], it was deemed an unneeded extra stressor, so the plot point was scrapped. %%Season 2, Episode 4 DVD commentary
** It was also briefly floated for the Mirror Police to have even more weapons and tools at their disposal than "The Lawbreaker", but this was similarly scrapped due to them already being a threat without them. %%Season 2, Episode 4 DVD commentary
* An early draft of [[Recap/InfinityTrainS2E6TheLuckyCatCar "The Lucky Car Car"]] had Khaki Bottoms as The Cat's assistant at the ticket stand, which included a joke about whether or not Jesse and MT could purchase him. The joke had to be scrapped due to the runtime, and he was made a brief cameo instead. %%Season 2, Episode 6 DVD commentary
* Lucy, a minor character in Book Three, was supposed to debut in this episode. In a scene that was cut for time, she would have aided in Grace's explanation of the Apex, the young girl enthusiastically talking about sacrificing adults and taking their belongings. %%Season 2, Episode 7 DVD commentary
* There was an extended chase scene throughout the mall that included Alan Dracula shapeshifting into a mall security guard, which had to be cut for time. %%Season 2, Episode 8 DVD commentary
* In [[Recap/InfinityTrainS2E9TheTapeCar "The Tape Car"]], the original design for the scene of the humans submerged in the tape forest had shout-outs to characters such as the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' verison of Bruce Wayne. This was changed due to the characters being too identifiable. %%Season 2, Episode 9 DVD commentary
* One-One and MT were going to view Jesse's ''first'' tape in [[Recap/InfinityTrainS2E10TheNumberCar "The Number Car"]] and seeing his life on Earth, before checking his status and realizing that he's back on the train. The sequence took over five minutes, and so had to be cut. %%Season 2, Episode 10 DVD commentary
!!Book Three
* Grace was originally intended to be depicted as glove-less much more often, with her declining number being fully visible during scenes such as [[spoiler:[[https://twitter.com/peroroh/status/1302386673653706752 Tuba's funeral]]]] in [[Recap/InfinityTrainS3E6TheCampfireCar "The Campfire Car"]].
* During the montage of memories that Grace has of herself and Simon in [[Recap/InfinityTrainS3E9TheOrigamiCar "The Origami Car"]], a scene was cut depicting them [[https://mobile.twitter.com/Cuppatan/status/1301962089758470145 sharing an awkward kiss as young adolescents]].
!!Book Four
* While the idea of the season revolving around the relationship between two passengers was always attached to Book 4, a few ideas predated it being about two musicians in the 1980s. [[https://www.reddit.com/r/InfinityTrain/comments/mrrwrm/i_am_owen_dennis_creator_of_infinity_train_on/guo67zk/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 Among the ideas tossed around]] were a duo of bank robbers from the American Old West, two passengers that were desynced from each other across time, and a passenger falling in love with another one through watching their tape. They settled on the 1980s when they decided they also wanted to touch upon [[spoiler:Amelia's character arc]] from prior books.
!!Book Five and Beyond
* Book 5 had already been written in its entirety when the show was cancelled and would have [[https://www.reddit.com/r/InfinityTrain/comments/mrrwrm/i_am_owen_dennis_creator_of_infinity_train_on/guol1rd/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 taken the form of a movie]] that would have [[https://www.reddit.com/r/InfinityTrain/comments/mrrwrm/i_am_owen_dennis_creator_of_infinity_train_on/guo8xsf/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 explained how]] [[spoiler:Amelia usurped the train]] in greater detail. Some storyboards for the proposed movie/season can be found in [[https://www.reddit.com/r/InfinityTrain/comments/lhlcrg/here_is_the_infinity_train_yearbook_for_those_who/ a brief video of the crew yearbook]], with Dennis later making [[https://www.reddit.com/r/InfinityTrain/comments/n7pwja/infinity_train_book_5_mockup/ a mock screenshot]] of one of the scenes.
** One of the scenes would have had [[spoiler:Amelia]] debating the morality of the train with [[spoiler:One-One]], trying to point out how non-consenusal the entire process is. %%Season 2, Episode 9 DVD commentary
* Book 5 would have focused on the theme of grief, with the other three seasons being [[https://www.reddit.com/r/InfinityTrain/comments/mrrwrm/i_am_owen_dennis_creator_of_infinity_train_on/guoh4qu/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 themed around guilt, revenge, and acceptance]].
* Plots that would have been explored in future seasons include [[https://www.reddit.com/r/InfinityTrain/comments/mrrwrm/i_am_owen_dennis_creator_of_infinity_train_on/guo9pqq/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 the relationship between]] [[spoiler:Amelia and Hazel]], and a final season that would have [[https://www.reddit.com/r/InfinityTrain/comments/mrrwrm/i_am_owen_dennis_creator_of_infinity_train_on/guofybt/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 explored Alzheimer's disease]] from the perspectives of both the sufferer and a loved one.
