The Brown Streak Railroad is a combination of passenger and freight rail operating within the [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]]. It is most likely named after the Silver Streak Railroad. The name could also be a reference to a brown spot of feces on the underwear due to inadequate wiping of the buttocks. The service is based off of California commuter railroads such as Caltrain and Metrolink. | The Brown Streak Railroad is a combination of passenger and freight rail operating within the [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]].

The [[freight]] train consists of a locomotive and three or four flatcars, and is based on the EMD SD40-2. All locomotives are diesel powered, with no electrified tracks. The player also has the option of riding in passenger trains (at no charge), with the ability to de-train at any stop, or in between, if preferred. | ||
Trains are totally indestructible. It is impossible to damage a train by any normal means, even attacking it with a [[Rhino]]. It is, however, possible to derail a train. This is done by hijacking the train and accelerating it until the train leaves the tracks, usually done while taking a turn too quickly. At this point the main locomotive will break apart from the cars and will slide until it finally comes to rest. If the player was in the process of a train mission, that mission is now considered a failure. | Trains are totally indestructible.
