Do you think that the Brown Streak train should be brought back?

[Guest]

I think that a passenger train needs to be implemented in to gta online just like the one in San Andreas and also have the ability to drive it,

what do you think?

[himynameisdamien]

Yes.

[Alvarez]

But you have no train stations.

[ninjaontour]

I'm not from NYC so can't confirm, but isn't Brown Streak a parody of something there, and so it wouldn't fit in Los Santos?f

[Mathew442]

But you have no train stations.

 

They could add a few here and there if they decided to implement this idea. A station at Paleto, a station at Sandy Shores and so on. Any settlement or decently-sized site that the current trainline passes could have a small station.

[FilthyEsquire]

I do miss driving that train... High on cocaine... Boy you know you better watch your speed!

 

LOL!

 

I did expect to be able to drive a train in this game... Now I settle for hopping on the train, and killing the "conductor"

"Brown Streak" clearly means a sh*t stain, but maybe it's a reference to something else, I'm not sure.

 

I suppose I wouldn't mind this train being added, OP.

I know that's what the inference is, but things like this in GTA are usually also a parody of something that actually exists.

I don't see a point unless they add some stations along the map, one in Paleto Bay, another in Sandy Shores and the last one could be some where around the LSC at La Mesa, although I believe they have to delete some jobs that are there.
Anyway, too much work for too little payout considering the fact that you can't skip the trips.

Either way, the only appearance it's made so in the GTA series was in San Andreas. Yes to driveable train. I've got my fingers crossed for freight train and trucking missions in online on next gen.

 

By the way people, there are train stations in GTA V. They're just not passenger stops, they're freight loading stations.

Lol

Id rather have the red dead redemption train

[UP9390]

Yeah, they would need to modernize the Passenger Trains to the present day, add stations. In addition allow more than one Train online because currently only one Train will spawn, and if more than one person is near the tracks in different areas of the map, the Train won't spawn. In addition also make the Trains run in multiple directions. They definitely need to make the Light Rail Trains in Los Santos run faster because the speed IRL is more faster than the speed that it currently runs at. I don't see why trains can't be operated outside of that single player mission.

To all of you ignorant people: You don't drive the train, you operate it, you can't control which way it goes. You people can realize that a plane is piloted...

The person who operates the locomotive is the Engineer or Train Operator, not the Conductor. The conductor does other tasks depending on the type of train the crew is operating.

[Furry_Monkey]

I don't think the OP understands the concept behind bringing something back. It must have been there in the first place in order to do that.

[ADropInTheOcean]

Yup, just for the hell of variety, it gets boring to always see the same loco after a while. Having different trains roaming around, like the Brown Streak, would be great.

I did see different rail cars. I was riding the train last week when it glitched, knocked me off the train, and when I stood up an entire line of rail cars was stranded on the tracks. Every car was different than what we normally see, including old box cars that said Santos Spirit along the side.

 

My initial thought was that this might have been a christmas train? Anyone else have this happen?

[SideStunt]

Hell yeah, good old times messing with the police back in the good ol' San Andreas, it should be like a variation of the Freight train that's already in the game.

[Gordanovich]

Don't really see the point of having a passenger train when there are no passenger stations. And the map would have to be reworked significantly to put some in.

 

Wouldn't mind some freight train missions though, like having to steal a locomotive from one siding, drive it to another and hook up a rake of wagons, then drive them to somewhere else.

 

Having more than one train on the map would be cool but they'd have to work out signalling, and interlocking for the single track sections.

[YaBoiiBrownCow]

Yass , youd be 120 tons of rolling steel , they should also add a older locomotive that's got "funky" graffiti that spawns near the storm drain . I would love that so f***king much .

10/10 I'll make her look better with a "white streak" :-) Edited September 1, 2014 by YaBoiiBrownCow

I miss being able to cruise around on the train, was fun to glitch it in SA and explore the whole map before it was unlocked. Not being able to in 5 was a huge let down for me so I'd like to see some kind of train implementation in the future... buuuut I doubt it will happen =/

Right, an they'll do all of that so that some idiots can drive a train for no reason whatsoever and become targets for everyone

[Kushology]

Origin of it and other things... lol

 

• The name is a reference to fecal stains, particularly in the pants.
• 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. The player can climb atop the unsinkable engine as if it were a stationary platform, a testament to the train's indestructibility.
• Strangely, although the train cannot be damaged (or even moved) by other objects when on the tracks, it becomes as light as a feather once it derails, and can be pushed by the character easily.
• If one were to be run over by the train at a station and the train parks on them to let passengers out, they can see that the passengers just sit in the middle of the train (it is possible to see "inside" it if one is stuck underneath it) as if they were the passengers of a car.
• If the player is stuck underneath a moving train, their health will gradually decrease until they die, or the train turns a corner.
• When departing Cranberry Station towards Tierra Robada, The Transfender's door nearby opens as the train passes underneath.
• It is not possible to derail a train while you are traveling through a straight and/or covered (e.g. tunneled) track. Because of this, it is not possible to derail a train in San Fierro, as there are no uncovered sharp turns.
• While playing in multiplayer, a player can lock onto any of the trains cars and see that there is health for each car. The health of the cars can be drained to zero but there is no effect of this at all, compared to normal vehicles that explode with zero health.
• If in 2-player mode on a console, if both players get into the train, they both have control over it. This applies to all controllable trains in the game.
• It is not possible to derail trains that have more than six cars (including the locomotive), since they cannot reach 190 km/h (the speed at which the train begins to shake).
• Shooting the Brown Streak is an easy way to raise weapon skill, as the train cannot be destroyed by gunfire, and it is often stationary.
• Saving a derailed Brown Streak in a garage will crash the game when the door is reopened.
• The Brown Streak is comparable to Amtrak, especially the coach cars which resemble Amtrak Superliner coaches.
  

 

OT: Don't care if it's re-added or not, the current train in V should've been drivable from the start.

Considering you don't need to worry about which direction you need to go, I could see this allowing characters inside the train using two-handed weapons. If you want a possible depiction of this, watch the movie "Silver Streak".

[E•MO•TION]

Amtrak, or I guess they could do Metrolink to give off the southern California vibe.

 

OT: There is a very heavy anti-transit sentiment in the game hence why there is no passenger rail service in the game. Heck, Unity Station is not even in the game.

GTA 5 has a lot of missing stuff that San Andreas had, like the gym and even cluck and bell, it seems the game has lost its ways a little and has turned into a cash card promo.

[Shadowfennekin]

I wish the train we have was driveable....

Maybe if we get a new map, a driveable train will come.... hopefully

[Alvarez]

I wish all tracks in game could be passed with a train.

 

You could collect a train in Los Santos and deliver it in Paleto Bay.

 

It would be difficult to script for a small minigame, though.

[Zwenkwiel]

yes, and I want to highjack and make it derail too

just like SA
