In [[Grand Theft Auto 1]], [[Grand Theft Auto 2]], [[Grand Theft Auto III]], and [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], a '''Train''' refers to rail-based transportation that allows the player to travel all over the games' respectable sections of a city. | In [[Grand Theft Auto 1]], [[Grand Theft Auto 2]], [[Grand Theft Auto III]], and [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], a '''Train''' refers to rail-based transportation that allows the player to travel all over the games' respectable sections of a city. | ||

A minor quirk in the PC version of GTA 1 is the ability to hijack Trains. In order to do this, players must first be within a Train's passenger coach. By simultaneously pressing the Ctrl and Enter keys, the player gains control of the locomotive, allowing them to control the train's speed as well as their direction along the tracks (forwards or backwards). However, the player must be wary of another Train along the track, as Trains are very sensitive to crashes; a simple collision can destroy both trains in an explosion, killing the player inside. Likewise, Trains can be damaged if they collide with any vehicle along the line, or sustain damage from gunfire, ultimately leading to them blowing up. | A minor quirk in the PC version of GTA 1 is the ability to hijack Trains.
