*When the Soldier taunts with the Pain Train, the weapon will face in the opposite direction of where it usually faces in first person mode, with the blunt end hitting the Soldier's head rather than the spike. This was probably an intended move by Valve to make it so the Soldier wasn't driving a rail spike into his head.

The Pain Train is an unlockable melee weapon for both the Soldier and the Demoman. It consists of what appears to be a broken Axtinguisher handle outfitted with a large railroad nail.

When carried, the club grants its wielder additional capture force, effectively making them count as two players when capturing control points and carts, thus acquiring the same ability as the Scout. On the downside, carrying the Pain Train makes its owner 10% more vulnerable to bullet-firing weapons, such as the Minigun, Scattergun, Shotgun, Sniper Rifle, or Sentry Guns.

Trivia

  • This weapon was released in the March 18, 2010 Patch as part of the first series of community-created content.
  • There is a bug that exists which causes flame damage to be increased against the user.
  • The item was originally intended for the Pyro.
  • The Pain Train was accidentally added to the drop system a day earlier as "Unknown Item 154". At that time, the item could be acquired through the random drop system, but not found in the backpack without the help of an external item manager. Approximately 1200 players found the item, but it did not drop into the backpack until the item was permanently and officially implemented on March 18. When moved into the backpack before this, the item took the placeholder icon of the Bottle.
  • For crafting purposes, the Pain Train counts as both a Soldier and a Demoman weapon. However, using it for crafting a Class Token (with any blueprint) will always produce a Soldier Token.
  • The name was made up by Swizzle himself. The caption he also included with the submission was "The Pain Train's a-comin! Woo woo!"
