In Roblox Dead Rails, the Train is your main method of transportation across a dangerous and loot-filled map. While every player starts with a basic Train, there are multiple variants available, each with strengths, drawbacks, and costs. Here’s a full breakdown of every train type available in Roblox Dead Rails and how to get them.
All Trains in Roblox Dead Rails

| Cost | Free |
| Max Speed | 65 km/h (1300 studs/s) |
| Fuel Use | Medium |
| Acceleration | Moderate |
| Armor | None (user-added only) |
| Storage Space | Moderate (Flatcar only) |
The Default Train is automatically unlocked for all players at the start of the game. It’s a simple yet dependable vehicle featuring a cab and flatcar, allowing for moderate mobility and storage. While it lacks built-in defenses, it serves as a good canvas for player customization.

- Easy to reinforce with common materials.
- Good starter option for new players.
- Disadvantages

- Limited cabin space
How to Get a Cattle Car in Dead Rails?
 | Value |
|---|---|
| Cost | 225 Bonds |
| Fuel Use | Medium |
| Acceleration | Moderate |
| Armor | Wood (pierceable) |
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
How to Get a Gold Rush Train in Dead Rails?
 | Value |
|---|---|
| Cost | 250 Bonds |
| Fuel Use | Medium |
| Acceleration | Moderate |
| Armor | None (purely cosmetic) |
| Storage Space | Same as Default |
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?
 | Value |
|---|---|
| Cost | 275 Bonds |
| Fuel Use | High |
| Acceleration | Low |
| Armor | High |
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.
