The Freight's locomotive (available only in a gray color) is based on a [[:wp:EMD SD40-2|EMD SD40-2]], while its flatbed cars are actually stripped down chassis of the locomotive; the flatbed cars have ample room to carry up to a full size car along with the player, making the train somewhat useful in travel. In addition to flatbed cars, game files reveal that a boxcar variant exists but remains unused in the game;[http://nl.wikigta.org/wiki/Freight], the boxcars can be pulled instead of the flatbeds on the PC version of the game by simply opening up the vehicles.ide file and switching the ID numbers of ''freiflat'' and ''freibox''. | The Freight's locomotive (available only in a gray color) is based on a [[:wp:EMD SD40-2|EMD SD40-2]], while its flatbed cars are actually stripped down chassis of the locomotive; the flatbed cars have ample room to carry up to a full size car along with the player, making the train somewhat useful in travel.

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 third party trainers can offer different viewpoints. | The train has some realistic effects, particularly the ability to derail it at high speeds.

===GTA V=== | |||
The design of the Freight in GTA V is quite similar to its GTA San Andreas, but bears the yellow and white livery of [[Go Loco]]. Unlike its predecessor, it cannot be controlled, and unlike the [[Tram]], it will not stop if its path is blocked or the driver is killed. The train runs non-stop in a circuit around [[San Andreas in GTA V|Southern San Andreas]], and also appears in [[North Yankton]] in [[Prologue (GTA V)|the Prologue]] and [[Bury the Hatchet]]. Two Freights collide head-on in the mission [[Derailed]]. | |||

*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.
