    • Easy to reinforce with common materials.
    • Good starter option for new players.
  • Disadvantages
    • Poor protection without upgrades.

The Cattle Car is purchased from the Train Station for 225 Bonds. It swaps the open cab for a wooden boxcar with three entrances and a roof hatch. Though its wooden construction doesn’t block bullets, it creates a structured space for weldable defenses and turret placements on the roof.

  • Advantages
    • Roof can host Maxim Guns.
    • Can store/weld more items along walls and ceiling.
    • Decent protection from lightning and sun (great for Vampires).
  • Disadvantages
    • Bullet penetration makes it risky
    • Requires blocking off entrances

The Gold Rush train can be purchased for 250 Bonds at the Train Station. It’s functionally identical to the Default Train but covered in shiny gold. Its main appeal is visual flair—it doesn’t add any gameplay benefit over the free version.

  • Advantages
    • Looks impressive
  • Disadvantages
    • Expensive and purely cosmetic.

How to Get an Armored Train in Dead Rails?

ValueCost275 BondsFuel UseHighAccelerationLowArmorHigh

The Armored Train is the most fortified and expensive option, available for 275 Bonds at the Train Station. Designed to withstand heavy fire, it comes with metal walls and even some pre-attached turrets. Its main drawback is its sluggish start and higher fuel demand.

  • Advantages
    • Built-in armor
    • Comes with defensive turrets
  • Disadvantages
    • Slower to accelerate and burns fuel faster.

Every train in Dead Rails is a trade-off between cost, protection, and mobility. New players will find the Default Train ideal for learning, while veterans may prefer the durability of the Armored Train or the flexibility of the Cattle Car.
