Freight
The Freight is a train in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, based on the EMD SD40-2 locomotive. It is only available in a gray color. The freight itself is presumably loaded off the Freight Train Station in El Corona north of Unity Station, or at Sobell Railyards. Like the Brown Streak, the Freight can be used to start delivery missions which are necessary to achieve 100% game completion.
Description
The train has some realistic effects, particularly the ability to derail it at high speeds. The train begins to shake above 47 m/s (~170 kph), at which speed it will derail upon turning. Trains are immune to all forms of damage, including weapon damage, fire and any physical obstruction, however derailment will render them useless.
There are no 1st/3rd person views when driving or traveling in the train, and the cinematic view mode is the only view available. Some 3rd-party trainers can offer different viewpoints.
Trivia
- If the train's engine happens to end up in water, it will stay afloat indefinitely, with the sound of the engine audible above and below water. The player can climb atop the unsinkable engine as if it were a stationary platform, a testament to the train's indestructibility.
- Starting the Freight mission will clear the player's Wanted level.
- There is an unused boxcar model that may be spawned with the use of a cheat device, however it cannot be interacted with.
