A Train is an environmental hazard which first appeared in the map Well, and has been used in numerous other custom 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 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.

Trivia
- The numbers on the top front of the train spells 7331, which is 1337 backwards. This is a reference to "Leet", or "Elite" an alternative alphabet for the English language that is used primarily on the Internet.
- Buildings that are created on the tracks will simply float in place until the next train destroys them.
- When using the Dead Ringer, it is possible for a Spy to survive the initial hit from a train, though the speed of the train will quickly kill the Spy again.
- The train shares its kill icon with Lil' Chew Chew, the Cart used on Frontier, when Lil' Chew Chew has three or more players riding it.
- The train's design resembles that of the Template:W, a model of locomotive first introduced in the 1970s.
- The train bears the company name "Northern Express". Sharing its paint scheme as well, this is likely a nod at real-life American railroad, Template:W.
- The damage type of the train is coded in the Source engine as freezing.
