The Floating Train was discovered by DarrinPA. He made a topic about it on GTAForums gtaforums.com/topic/444741-snail-trail-train/ I made a previous video demonstrating how the Floating Train works th-cam.com/video/s1OUB73Oacc/w-d-xo.html
I actually already knew about this train. If you join/create any SAMP server and spawn a train/tram on the side of the tracks where trains do not run on, you can drive the entire route. You even go through the mountains.
Dank Dank Some is still Recording videos in 15 or lower fps, some is still using "bandicam" watermark, but me.. i'm playing classic ps2, and planing get gta san Andreas on ps2.
for those who dont understand, its not a bug. the train is mission scripted. mission scripted events/vehicles do not disappear while the mission is active. their position is always stored and they continue moving, even while not loaded. the second line for trains is not fully scripted out because the only other time the second line is used is during the mission "wrong side of the tracks". because of where the train spawns in "wrong side of the tracks", the train route begins in northstar rock. and because of where it spawns during "snail trail", the line terminates in cranberry station. trains are programmed to go in a loop, not stop, so when the train reaches the end of the route in cranberry, its forced to go back to its route starting point in northstar rock, so it will make that hard right and travel in a straight line back to the beginning of the route. only because of the trains invincibility, is it able to travel through the landscape and not be destroyed.
that is true and confirmed while editing the train routes with a tool, you can do this in GTA IV and V too (but only editing the route) also, there is a third track going from the bay to camberry station but is never used and has the very same "bug"
the track down in easter basin was originally intended for a scrapped mission concept similar to the mission "fast track" where you wouldve had to load or unload a train instead of the ship.
I rather thought in a way: since las Venturas region is locked, traim made a forced turn to return back to the beginning instead of a large loop with all regions unlocked lol. Welcome to North Pole expresso where it's invisibility travels thru lands
I uploaded a 2nd video demonstrating the same technique. It was a little bit longer. It's on my other TH-cam channel th-cam.com/video/U93IeeR-rGo/w-d-xo.html
This actually happens with any train that takes the 2nd unused line. Even if you are driving it. Pick any mod that allows you to drive a train through the second line and get to SF.
It could be that map was smaller and train tracks were different in Alpha/Beta version, they just left this coding in final version without bothering to remove it. Same with beta interiors that still remain in Blue Hell, dialogues and beta pedestrians in gamefiles.
Warning:do not save the train over the big garage in the airport this may cause you to crash your computer and if you save the game without saving the train in big garage in airport you may never ever open it again!!
@@Pain-xw1rj I had idea to save engine of the train to airport hangar, so I made it to overspeed and jump from tracks near the military base. From there I pushed engine of the train to airport hangar. When I finally did it and the doors of hangar closed completly game crashed. It was rather dissapointing because I spent almost an hour and half just to push that damn train into hangar
The thing that surprised me most was not the floating train but at 4:16 how you towed the Maverick helicopter outside the garage, pretty creative way of parking heli...
it travels from the tracks last programmed coordinate to its first (used in wrong side of the tracks for example). its not affected by collision, because it is a scripted model
Try driving the train, it'd be interesting. I'm just curious, so are those "invisible" tracks programmed in the game? I mean, we could say it's a bug/glitch, but it might just be programmed like that on purpose.
if we did that CJ wouldnt look right. this game was made when we used polygons in graphics, now we use octogons(or vecie versa. i dont exactly remember the order) but point being his face and everyone elses would change sadly.
i actually found this myself but it was when i was playing mta i spawned a train near the bridge that links los santos to las venturas and out of nowhere the train goes inside the dirt and when i kept going i went inside that station through the window

ZMOONCHILD live hi
Following links in that thread, this was actually discovered before by other people in 2005. I had no clue about any of this though, wow.
Dude it’s a cycle. The train doesn’t go anywhere the train goes around across the map
I actually already knew about this train. If you join/create any SAMP server and spawn a train/tram on the side of the tracks where trains do not run on, you can drive the entire route. You even go through the mountains.
I discovered this train on the ps2 in like 2005. I always wanted to drive a train on the other side, so I followed it.
It's 2018 and people are still making videos on this classic game
Dank Dank you better edit this comment tomorrow.
TiagoGaming96 people still make mods for Doom and other early 90's games, so probably yes
Dank Dank and we still play it 11 years later
Dank Dank Some is still Recording videos in 15 or lower fps, some is still using "bandicam" watermark, but me.. i'm playing classic ps2, and planing get gta san Andreas on ps2.
It means we can use ULTRA 4K GTA SAN ANDREAS REALISTIC ENB REMASTERED with cheap hardware in 2030.
The thing that amazes me the most about this video is that in nearly 10 years, I never realized you could tow a helicopter
Are you serious? I already found it
Zachary Metcalf xd
U can tow a boat?

Train is indestructible
Thomas is a train
Therefore
*Thomas is indestructible*

Can't deny it if a train said that.
3:22 Ironic the radio station says, "Wrong side of the tracks".
this mission's caption says "Follow that train!", big smoke's line from that mission
wowowowowowow
Justin Urhead, Thanks for recognizing it! :)
And Big Smoke talks on the radio
Holy shit
Waith wtf you can tow a helicopter....????
Even a plane.
@@captaingeofs3648 WHOA ಠ_ಠ
@@ddxre the dodo and shamal can be towed.
I didn't know you could store an helicopter inside a garage wtf
Kugelblitz just pull it with a tractor or tow truck
Zmoonchild, Damn I've been watching you since 2010, Your content is legit!
Damn this SHIT is LEGIT
I uploaded a 2nd video demonstrating the same technique. It was a little bit longer.
It's on my other TH-cam channel th-cam.com/video/U93IeeR-rGo/w-d-xo.html
If Big Smoke said to the floating train ”ALL WE HAD TO DO IS FOLLOW THAT DAMN TRAIN CJ"..
This actually happens with any train that takes the 2nd unused line. Even if you are driving it. Pick any mod that allows you to drive a train through the second line and get to SF.
Can you leave that mod link please cuz i cant find any
It could be that map was smaller and train tracks were different in Alpha/Beta version, they just left this coding in final version without bothering to remove it. Same with beta interiors that still remain in Blue Hell, dialogues and beta pedestrians in gamefiles.
no its just for the mission, unless you know trains that make 90° turns
That is the weirdest thing that I didn't know about SA. Also, at 19:25 you can see the train catching up with its own ghost.
Adrian Colley He should try and steal the ghost train before the other train catches up!
I DIDN'T KNOW YOU COULD TOW A HELICOPTER!!!!!
Mark McDonald I'm gonna use that.
You can tow a plane too
I bet you also didn't know that you could park leviathan helicopter on water
I didn't even know you could tow a vehicle lmao
I like how he keeps the radio on WCTR instead of turning it off and boring us and how he doesn't skip calls.
Bruh radio podcasts in this game is insane to listen today.
It was surreal and relaxing listening to the Vice City radio shows on YouRubd the other day. Nostalgia at its finest.
Some say it’s still floating to this day
I have played this game for more than 10 years and I didn't know you could do that 4:20
Everyone have been doing it from years I discovered that back in 2012 playing online via SAMP
+Ahmed Raza 2012 is so late when the game came out in 2004 😂
4:14 how did the heli came in the garage
same way it came out
The same way he dragged it out
hakuna matata he used the tow truck
Can you do Where does Ryder go during mission Pier 69 pls? follow him
Watch this video th-cam.com/video/Q6nmv1pZf8I/w-d-xo.html
He did it
He go to lost Santa
* Flying Train *
People in San Fierro:Ahhh...just A normal amazing day in our beatiful City San Fierro...
there wasn't really a point making the video that long but it was a good one
9:26 big smoke WRONG SIDE OF THE DAMN TRAIN
All you had to do was follow the damn train cj
8:11 og loc!!!!
ogglock*
@@ToddKeck98 Og loc is from the GTA idiot
The thumbnail makes it look like a helicopter, airplane, and train had a baby...
Warning:do not save the train over the big garage in the airport this may cause you to crash your computer and if you save the game without saving the train in big garage in airport you may never ever open it again!!
Nellie Delacruz how is that possible ?
What d you mean by saving the train?
@@Pain-xw1rj I had idea to save engine of the train to airport hangar, so I made it to overspeed and jump from tracks near the military base.

It was rather dissapointing because I spent almost an hour and half just to push that damn train into hangar
Why is this even a thing?
I guess teleportation didn't work on trains so they had to improvise.
The thing that surprised me most was not the floating train but at 4:16 how you towed the Maverick helicopter outside the garage, pretty creative way of parking heli...
Who heard OG Loc and Big Smoke on the radio?
This time, CJ follows the train without that overweight fool and is able to finish the mission. How sweet!
TH-cam told me a secret by putting this in my Recommendations
Floating ghost train so spooky it broke the spook-o-meter.
damn train again.
TangguhNI why not?
a pen haha, thats my pen!
17:53 u should have stayed and see if the back locomotive would squash ya
Loved this game. Would smoke blunts and tow cars to the ship all night. Best GTA ever
ZMOONCHILD you're the best!! I been curious on where that damn train went!
4:52
_I'm bored...._
_Hmmm, I wonder what's gonna happen if I take a right on here_
*_Whoops..._*
Wonder if that is an old train route from a previous build of the game.
YEEAHHH..!!!
MISSION FAILED, MISSION FAILED, MISSION FAILED, MISSION FAILED OHH! OHH!!
I hope smoke is satisfied.
it travels from the tracks last programmed coordinate to its first (used in wrong side of the tracks for example). its not affected by collision, because it is a scripted model
I Can shoooow you The world...
Shining, shimerlin, spleeeeeeendid
Underrated comment
Anyone hear lazlow at 7:47
I called o.g loc og lock too as a kid
Same here
Hold on, is that saying that Big Smoke is Lazlow's manager?
what happen if you save train in big garage at airport?
SA crashes on opening of the garage.
10:40 how were you just then getting that call from woozie?? I was already done with his missions by the time i was doing snail trail
not replying any calls untill that moment?
All we had to do was follow the damn train, CJ!
Mojżesz all you had to do was follow the damn train, CJ!
I'm in love with this damn train.
Really nice discovery.
It's been known since 2005.
so you can go to hogwarts in the cranberry train station??
Lol "as a mother and a fireman".
It's cute to see you store your helo in a garage meant for cars.
These videos are so interesting for some reason.
It goes to Red County tracks directly without any turns on the tracks of San Fierro on the way.
whats up with all of these super specific gta san andreas videos becoming popular
TH-cam algorithm
How i do follow this train eh? Big smoke?
i never herd those dialogs before on the radio, was that from gta beta or something?
Most invincible thing ever made
Where does Tepenny go in the last mission end of the line?
? Where would he go. He dies in the canton bridge when he arrives there
Lol
discovered this train on the ps2 in like 2005. I always wanted to drive a train on the other side, so I followed it.
Today is my birthday
Diamond Blue happy birthday! You got a like from me
Diamond Blue happy b day playa
4:52 when your mum threatens to turn the train around
What is it with Rockstar and following damn trains?
My face when the train turned in san fierro
WHAT THA FFFF..... 😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲
I just realized that the flatcars are also GEVO chassis.
Wow that's a shortcut the driver of the train is sooooo smart 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Try driving the train, it'd be interesting. I'm just curious, so are those "invisible" tracks programmed in the game? I mean, we could say it's a bug/glitch, but it might just be programmed like that on purpose.
gameexpert2011 it’s probably just leftover code from the alpha/beta that Rockstar were too lazy to remove
Follow the damn train CJ
Wow i only followed the train upto Panopticon. I didn't ever knew that this train will return to the original Position in San Feirro and dissapear
18:02 look son, the circle is complete and it will star again forever.
New Algorithm Of Railway Traffic fixes it so trains run properly on both track putting an end to this phenomenon.
4:23 is this possible? I can't remember when did I did it ....
7:40 lazlow is in gta San Andreas
2:23 I cannot see the reporter is boarded on the train
why do we keep discovering stuff?
if we did that CJ wouldnt look right. this game was made when we used polygons in graphics, now we use octogons(or vecie versa. i dont exactly remember the order) but point being his face and everyone elses would change sadly.
When Carl and tenpenny and the other guy are having a serious talk and then you see the mask on Carl’s face
Something similar happens in the mission "end of the line" if I recall correctly. Thats what I read somewhere a time ago anyway I believe.
17:41 CJ WTF
They got to remake San Andreas with modern graphics.
USA USA USA!!!!!!!
YEAAAAAAAAH! U-SA!
What happens if u try to enter the train and the drive it? Di u have to drive the same route??
i actually found this myself but it was when i was playing mta i spawned a train near the bridge that links los santos to las venturas and out of nowhere the train goes inside the dirt and when i kept going i went inside that station through the window
Since when did CJ have a big-ass nose 🤔🤔🤔
Savage God 13 They are unique glasses you can buy it at Binco
Can you drive the ghost train?
all you did was follow the wrong damn train cj
'We need a movie star to be president, it works!" Oh, Brian.
I thought it was going to Hogwarts.
This game went from full gangster to full harry potter type shit
Like seriously what is there not to love about this game!!
i think its because you are not allowed to go to Las Venturas but i dont know
The night looks so beautiful
This is how trains avoid stopping in the end of the bridge
Legend says:train still floats...
Happy new year
Every 3d gta protagonist has one unique weakness like claude cant speak, tommy cant swim, Cj dont drive very well.
that Spook-o-meter was intended for us.
The Moment you realize that those Flatcars are just Locomotives wothout a Carbody...
All we have to do is follow the damn train, CJ!
