Brown Streak Railroad: Difference between revisions

Line 40: Line 40:
The Brown Streak Railroad runs a full circuit throughout the entire state of [[State of San Andreas|San Andreas]], with two tracks providing service. At two points, the rails combine into a single track and run for a couple of miles before parting back into 2 tracks. In Los Santos, a track connects to the main circuit and is a more industrial line. This line cannot be driven on in the game and is merely for show. In San Fierro, a track connects to the main line and leads to the docks in [[Easter Basin]]. This is also an unusable track, although a path file for it exists within the game's programming. In general, all trains use the inner track, with a few exceptions: during the [[First Mission (GTA SA)|Introductory Mission]], [[Wrong Side of the Tracks]] and [[Snail Trail]].

There are several [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railroad_crossing Railroad Crossings] all around the state of San Andreas. The crossings have red flashing lights and barriers that come down when a train approaches, except in Los Santos where all but 3 crossings, 2 of which are on the unused freight depot siding, have no alarm systems at all. Depending on the speed of the approaching train, the barriers may not be fully down by the time the train gets there, causing players to drive through and getting hit by the train, which usually causes cars to explode and kill you. Pedestrians still walk across the crossings regardless if the barrier is down, and if the barrier is down for more than 15 seconds the cars will drive through the barrier anyway (causing it to fall off).
