Despite its age, the chaotic free-roam multiplayer game doesn't seem to get old with players. However, it took all of its 11 years to finally offer players something they've been asking for since its release—you can finally drive the train. OK, so that should come with an asterisk. While the train *is* driveable, it's only driveable during one specific mission. You can't just steal the train like you would a car during free-roam play and cause chaos along the railroad. Instead, you have to play the Cluckin' Bell Farm Raid mission, which sees you escape from some baddies by stealing the train. ![]() **Rockstar Games** Of course, the mission throws some train-specific excitement in the mix by having those baddies try to stop you by idiotically parking their machine gun-equipped trucks on the tracks. You can guess what happens when your unstoppable[ train meets a compact pickup at speed](). Since the mission is playable either solo or with up to three friends, smashing through NPC-driven trucks can be fun for the whole group. Unfortunately, the train section of the mission isn't very long, cutting your dreams of railroad shenanigans pretty short. Now that Rockstar has shown the gameplay mechanics to drive the train, it's only natural that players want more. Especially since stealing the train in GTA: San Andreas, and subsequently derailing it onto a highway, was so much fun. However, there's no word that Rockstar will make the train drivable outside of the lone mission. Will Rockstar add the train to other future missions? Maybe, but with the release of [Grand Theft Auto 6]() on the horizon, it might just be saving some free-roam railway chaos for a future date. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
