GTA 5: Train and steer

In GTA 5, several trains run across Los Santos. You can find the rails all over the map. To get ahead faster, you can jump on a train yourself and take a ride. You can even control the vehicles yourself during the course of the game. In this practical tip we will tell you when and how this works.

GTA 5: Get on the train

• Once you have found a train track, it is often only a matter of time before the next train arrives. You should not wait longer than two minutes.
• Always jump on a flat part of the train. From a standing start, however, this only works with a little luck.
• It's best to get a slightly larger car, such as an off-road vehicle, and place it parallel to the tracks. If a flat wagon comes by from the train, just jump on it.

GTA 5: How to steer the train

• Currently, you cannot drive the train in GTA 5 online or offline yourself. The driver can be shot, but the train continues to roll. There is no way to the cab.
• There is a specific mission in which you have a unique chance to control a train. Otherwise, you will remain just a stowaway on the train.
