Trains are only available in [[Liberty City in GTA 1|Liberty City]] and [[Vice City in GTA 1|Vice City]], as [[City of San Andreas|San Andreas]] is presumed to originally be intended by developers to feature [[Tram]]s instead; the feature was dropped in the final version of the game. Trains in Liberty City are blue, while trains in Vice City are red.

In each district of [[Anywhere City]], the Trains that appear in the city's various train lines may come with different combinations of train sets, either serving to carry passengers, or carry passengers ''and'' freight, to which point the locomotive will appear with the aforementioned freight cars, flatbed car, or both. The player can only access a Train via any of its passenger coaches, so the freight-based cars are of little use.

Trains in GTA 2 also travel much faster, and adopt at-grade, elevated or underground lines to travel around the city. Their frequency of arrivals at station is also better than in GTA 1.

The presence of Trains was removed from the [[Playstation]] port of the game, probably due to hardware limitations.

In GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, the games' rendition of [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] features two train lines which rolling stock consists of two-to-three car electric trains that unusually only utilize one track, despite the lines featuring two. The three-car train only appears on the Portland El, but the last car is always off the platform when the train stops, rendering it useless. While the train travels from one station to another, the journey is played out in [[cutscene]] form and views cannot be changed by the player.
