Mission

Michael De Santa, in Blaine County, phones Trevor Philips for assistance for stealing a train for their upcoming plans to perform a heist at the Union Depository. Michael arrives at a secluded train station at Davis Quartz and silently takes out the two railway station employees. Michael pulls a switch to changing the siding and, as the train approaches, it changes on to an unscheduled stop as it slows down. The play switches to Trevor in a special helicopter at the Sandy Shores airfield provided by Lester Crest. Trevor takes off as Michael, through a headset, tells Trevor he will have 'a little word' with the driver and unhook the train. Trevor arrives in the helicopter and steals the engine, flying back to his airfield in Sandy Shores to leave the engine on a truck before returning to the train to take a flatbed car, again returning to the airfield to drop the flatbed on the truck.
