A Train is an environmental hazard which first appeared in the map Well, and has been used in other Maps since. Trains typically appear on the map in the form of a Template:W complete with warning lights and a ringing bell sound effect. The speed and the timing of the train's appearance varies by map.

Contact with the front of a train results in the destruction of buildings and the death of the player, including players currently receiving an ÜberCharge from a Medic. Players who cause an opponent to be struck and killed by a train through knock back or wound the player by any other means before the death will not be credited with a kill assist. The Dead Ringer will provide protection from the initial impact of the train; further impacts will lead to death.

Bugs

  • Stickybombs launched at a moving train will be stuck in the air at the point where the Stickybomb and the train met, instead of moving along with the train.

Trivia

  • The train's design resembles that of the Template:W, a model of locomotive first introduced in the 1960s/70s.
  • The train bears the company name "Northern Express". Sharing its paint scheme as well, this is likely a nod at real-life American railroad, Template:W.
  • The damage type of the train is coded in the Source engine as freezing.
