	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.

	For GTA 1, Trains are designed as passenger based vehicles that allow players and NPCs to move between various underground and elevated stations scattered all over the city. The trains consist of a single locomotive pulling three passenger cars; players simply enter or exit a passenger coach the same way their do with any road vehicle, but can only do so when the Train has come to a stop at the station. From this point on, players may continuously ride the train until they alight at a station.

	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.
