Everyone out there who bought Red Dead Redemption 2 has been absolutely in love with the game since its release. With a massive open world, an extensive campaign, and countless side quests, there’s always something to keep you busy every time you play the game. Looking for fun Easter eggs (or even just finding them randomly) is another part of the RDR2 experience, and this digital Wild West is completely filled with those as well.
One of the scariest of these Easter eggs is an actual “ghost train” in Lemoyne you can find chugging along the tracks in the middle of the night. To find it, you’ll want to go to Northwestern Lemoyne, close to the Lemoyne sign. At around 3:00 a.m., mount your horse and ride back and forth in this area. If your horse begins to react, that means the train is nearby and will soon appear. However, if the train doesn’t show up and the sun rises, simply go to sleep and try again the next night. Keep in mind that you can only see the train once and it will not respawn, so be sure to enjoy the moment.
If you’d rather just watch a video of the ghost train in action, you can take a look at it below, courtesy of IGN.
There is no reward for following the train, and the moment is nothing more than an Easter egg meant to freak out players unlucky enough to wind up near those tracks when the apparition blazes by. Still, it’s a very fun inclusion, and it’s the little things like this which add so much more to an already-amazing game. While there are plenty of references to other Rockstar titles, this ghost train seems to be an homage to the Phantom Train boss from Final Fantasy 6.
Of course, this is one of countless Easter eggs to be found in Red Dead Redemption 2. It’s just one of the many, many things to come across in what seems to be Rockstar’s best game yet. The game is available to purchase on Xbox One and PS4.
