A Train is an environmental hazard which first appeared in the map Well, and has been used in other maps since. Trains typically appear on the map in the form of a railway crossing complete with warning lights and a ringing bell sound effect. The speed and the timing of the Train's appearance varies by map.
Contact with the front of a Train results in the destruction of buildings and death of the player, including players currently receiving an ÜberCharge from a Medic. Players who cause an opponent to be struck and killed by a train through knock back or wound the player by any other means before the death will not be credited with a kill assist. The Dead Ringer will provide protection from the initial impact of the train; further impacts will lead to death.
