Why is a British train car in GTA 5?

I'm not sure if this is a developer oversight or a hint towards anything, but I just noticed that in the last mission, there's a British coal wagon near the steel mill. I wouldn't think it would be an oversight on Rockstar's part, what with them getting the bulk of American stuff right in GTA 5 so far, it seems hard to believe that they just throw in the oddball combo-breaker of accuracy. What do you guys think?

It's not a current British coal truck either. That type of rolling stock hasn't been used in the UK since the 1960's :monocle:

That's what's confusing me even more.

Why are there Chinese drug dealers in the US??

Those're the Triads, aren't they?

Old rolling stock could have been left on a siding to rot, but that wagon would never have been used in the USA in the first place.

 

Excellent find!

I know the town hall in the town next to me has some French boxcar, but then again, it was a gift for World War 2.

isn't that plant supposed to be old anyway? Maybe it's just an old abandoned cart that the company is too lazy to deal with

It was supposed to come with stuff in it, but I can't go in and see it. Apparently there's one for each state or something.

I've seen those same train cars in the train yard in Paleto Bay.

I wouldn't think so. Most of the train cars there are new.

Exactly. And even then, would an American diesel locomotive look "right" pulling those cars? If it were an old British steam engine, that would make sense, but with modern diesels, I doubt it.

Nice Tank Engine!

 

That looks like a Brush BO-BO behind it too

Trains are that way in GTA "HD Universe". So deal with it.

 

If you find more inaccuracies, remember, "a wizard did it". Relax.

Novelty purposes. Some are likely owned by people for novelty purposes. My father collected tons of firetrucks, American and Foreign.

That makes sense. I know some dude bought a locomotive and cut it up to put it in his basement.

That still raises the question on why a railroad would allow for an outdated, poorly-made-out-of-wood wagon to run alongside modern diesels, rolling stock, etc. Perhaps the owner of those wagons is really rich and could pay off the railroad just to keep them at their yards?

 

Even then, it'd probably make more sense to have some sort of caboose or some captured German steam train as a WW2 war trophy on display at a train station, if there was even any train stations in GTA 5. I know a train station a few times over has an old caboose on display.

They are from the UK and they also have a Scotland flag too in the game (GTA V) they just want to represent where they come from even if its obscure like a old coal train or flag hidden in plain sight.
