Well, while the Clone is definitely sealed as she literally cannot leave the confines of the Train, it's difficult to tell whether the same applies to Hoaqin.

We know that he was previously stopped from leaving the Train, and that there is some kind of arrangement in place, but it's not clear whether Hoaqin cannot leave the Train, or whether leaving the Train would simply result in some irreversible and highly undesirable outcome.

From the top of my head, maybe if Hoaqin leaves in anything short of the complete form, the Hell Train curse is lost; maybe the moment Hoaqin leaves the Train, the Clone is free to leave as well--or simply free to dissipate (whatever souls do when they aren't eaten)--, which would force Hoaqin to start over with accumulation of souls as only a 4/5 White; and so forth.

In fact, Hoaqin is most likely going to accompany Rachel outside of the Train once they reach 43F. HOWEVER, it would be rather strange move on SIU's part to have Rachel waltz around with a High Ranker as her tool, so it's unlikely that Hoaqin manages to assimilate the Clone before his departure. And this means that Hoaqin can--one way or another--leave the Train.
