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.

In each district of [[Anywhere City]], the Trains that appear in the city's various train lines may come with different combination 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. | In each district of [[Anywhere City]], the Trains that appear in the city's various train lines may come with different combination 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.

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. | 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 Trains, resembling those of the [[wp:R68 (New York City Subway car)|New York City Subway R68]], are designed as standard subway trains complete with visible driver's cabs (with no driver) and an interior decorated with seating and advertising. Unlike Trains in previous games, the Liberty City Trains are indestructible; neither can the player commandeer the trains, limiting the player to riding them. | The Trains, resembling those of the [[:wp:R68 (New York City Subway car)|New York City Subway R68]], are designed as standard subway trains complete with visible driver's cabs (with no driver) and an interior decorated with seating and advertising.

If a pedestrian walks into the train, they will be killed immediately, even when the train is completely stopped at the station. In [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories|GTA Liberty City Stories]], any vehicle that comes into contact with the Train will explode on impact; an exception would the [[PCJ-600]], which is glitched with a randomly delayed explosion and teleportation of its occupant to the nearest train track after exploding. | If a pedestrian walks into the train, they will be killed immediately, even when the train is completely stopped at the station.
