San Andreas fanboy Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I know you can in a train, although it doesn't take you to where you want to go. I found that a bit gay TBH, I preferred it in RDR 1 where you could take a stagecoach/train ride wherever you wanted (if it had a road or a train station lol) and either skip the ride or enjoy the view. Pretty minor but one of the annoying things about RDR 2. stag3coach2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subvod Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Arguably, yes. While on foot, wait for a wagon to pass by and ask for a ride. Most of the time they'll accept if you have high honor. Though, you have zero control over the destination. I kind of thought cinematic camera would keep the wagon going, but for some reason I have to hold A to continue moving even after entering cinematic camera while holding A. Apparently, it only works while on horseback. stag3coach2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the case of Saint Denis due to its size however, they will carry you to: other part of Saint Denis or to Rhodes, and in the case you take the ride just outside of Saint Denis in the bridge near the Mayor to Lagras or to Van Horn if you take the ride in the farmland just north of Saint Denis. If you take a ride in Strawberry you go to Blackwater (even with Arthur), in Valentine to Emerald Ranch, in Rhodes to Saint Denis, in Van Horn to Annesburg, and in Annesburg to Van Horn.

Anyways you can try wait for a train to stop at the station, sometimes the trains do stop, and you can ride them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there's something I didn't know about. Guess it's kind of obvious and basic, but I've never done a whole lot of asking for rides anyway. 14 hours ago, stag3coach2 said: Sadly for some reason Rockstar decided to keep the fast travel option only.

If you stay away from any guards on the train, you won't become wanted and can just ride indefinitely. Plus, despite not being able to buy train tickets at Benedict Point (let alone anywhere in New Austin), trains will randomly spawn piloted and boarded by NPCs all around New Austin. It was cool to jump on from horseback at MacFarlane's and ride west through the tunnel. stag3coach2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jutland Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Does anyone know if there’s something you can do which definitely generates a train in free roam? Or are the trains just randomly generated? Sometimes I’m in fre roam and entire days can pass by without a train showing up at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other places I've often seen them pop in are just north of Annesburg, just east of the Ambarino Sign, east of Wallace Station, parked at Appleseed Timber Co (even after it's abandoned), on the west side of Bard's Crossing, northwest of MacFarlane's Ranch, north of Armadillo, and just south of Benedict Point. As for a specific method, I've no clue. They seem totally RNG based, as I've even seen trains all over New Austin even at night. Being near any major city, especially Annesburg and Rhodes, generally gets one to pull in within a minute or two. Some days I've seen so many in such a short span it seemed like they were just running relays on a single set of rails. Others it may be days in-game until I see one.

Micah_Bell Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Yeah, when you see one on the road just ask for a ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are timetables at the stations, but they are just decorative. I guess rockstar once thought of putting the trains on actual schedules, but like a lot of things in the game they decided to not do it properly. However, it looks like trains do spawn more often when you are approaching an station, not already waiting on one. In any case there is a train that do stop regularly for my experience, and is a train in Valentine just before sunrise. That train stops on the station (most trains that pass through a station when you are already waiting in don't stop for some stupid reason) and you enter can the wagons, sit in a chair and enjoy the ride.
