Overview
Salvaged from an unknown tunnel or station and built up with a mass of steel, the armored train poses as the single most dangerous weapon of war in posession of the Red Line. Despite this, it remains relatively inactive and unheard of for most of Metro Last Light. It is a set-piece item for an opening in the level Revolution where it is seen being constucted, and is mentioned in passing by Andrew in Regina, but is not used and not vital to the plot until the final wave of enemies in D6. It is seen being constructed in the level Revolution, mentioned by Andrew in Regina, and is not used until the final wave of enemies in D6. In it's breif last appearcnce, it is the deciding weapon that cripples the Rangers by destroying D6's platform - who had previously killed several dozen soldiers of the Red Army, a tank, as well as a shield and flamethrower unit. Though it is obviously destroyed in the C'est la Vie ending to Last Light, what exactly happens to it in the Redemption ending is unknown, though it is possible that the train was rendered useless by destroying the platform.
