History Main / LocomotiveLevel

* ''VideoGame/LethalEnforcers 2'' have the fourth stage, the Train Robbery, where your sheriff hero arrives at a train only to find out it's filled with hostile bandidos. Cue a chase scene-shootout, with you on horseback against the villains.

* ''VideoGame/TimeCrisis2'' has a level where the heroes have to hijack a railway transporting missiles in order to infiltrate Ernesto Diaz's headquarters, with Diaz's lead mercenary, the ScaryBlackMan Buff Bryant, serving as the boss at the end.
** In the third game the heroes takes over a similar train to enter General Zott's base, and have to contend with Zott's army as well as several clawmen guarding the train. Players get to battle Garrett, the clawmen leader, and several EliteMook clawmen at the end of the stage.

* The final stage of ''VideoGame/MedalOfHonorUnderground'', aptyly titled "The End of the Line". Manon infiltrates a train filled with Germans, preventing their last-ditch attempt to win the war by crashing a train filled with enough explosives to level Paris.

** ''VideoGame/FullmetalAlchemistStrayRondo'': The first proper dungeon is a train that was attacked by Bald and his men ([[GoldfishPoopGang again]], according to Ed' exasperated reaction). The level serves to introduce a [[CanonForeigner new character]], Cony, who was taken hostage by them.

* ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia'' has a train sequence, while the heroes escape from the BigBad slowly walking towards them.
* In ''VideoGame/BoxxyQuestTheGatheringStorm'', the first half of Chapter 6 is set on the luxury Hype Train as it travels from one site to another. Predictably, it turns into a [[ThrillerOnTheExpress murder mystery scenario]] almost as soon as you get onboard.

* Part of one of the final dungeons in ''VideoGame/SecretOfMana'' takes place on an undead-infested metro train.

* ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'' has the Crisis on Umbara flashpoint, the first half of which takes place both on top of and inside a moving hovertrain.
* The Game Boy Color adaptation of ''VideoGame/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone'' has a level set on the Hogwarts Express. Harry meets Ron at the back of the last coach and there's a boss fight with Draco Malfoy, but not much else aside from a lot of other students to talk to.

* ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork6CybeastGregarAndCybeastFalzar'' had the Link Navi mission with [=ChargeMan.EXE=] in the ''Gregar'' version. Said Navi offers his services to transport [=NPCs=] to various areas of the Net in a minigame where he tries to go from Point A to Point B without losing his passengers.

* ''VideoGame/LooneyTunes'' games:

* ''VideoGame/SpiderMan2000'' on UsefulNotes/PlayStation1 featured a level where Spidey must survive an unlimited hoard of lizard men set upon him by Venom. Falling off the very narrow platform is an instant death, but Spidey can knock his enemies off the train too. The goal of the level is to survive until the train icon at the bottom of the screen reaches the end.

* ''Franchise/TombRaider''
** ''VideoGame/TombRaiderTheLastRevelation'' features an extensive fight from one end of a cargo train to another, often forcing Lara to precariously cling to the side of a moving train to advance.

* ''VideoGame/JediAcademy'' had a level where you had to disarm a bomb on a crowded train, and then stop the bad guys from ramming it into the station.

* [=E1L3=] in the original ''VideoGame/{{Blood}}'' takes place on the Phantom Express train owned by the Cabal. Caleb navigates it from the very front of the locomotive to the caboose and back again. In the sequel, ''Blood II: The Chosen'', three levels take place in moving subway trains; two end in a train crash[[labelnote:*]]the second being a copypaste of the first, but with tougher enemies[[/labelnote]], while the third has you jump from one train to the other right in front.
* Gordon Freeman spends a lot of time on trains, although rarely during active gameplay.

** Spiritual successor AS-Convoy in ''VideoGame/UnrealTournament2004'' is of a similar concept, albeit with a BaseOnWheels and its attendant vehicles rather than a train.

* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'', as with any ''Source'' engine game, has loads of community created content and maps, one of which is a map called ''ctf_convoy'' that takes place on two massive missile carriers careening through a canyon.

* ''VideoGame/PAYDAY2'' has two train-related heists. The first, named Transport: Train Heist, sees the player stealing a turret (a level 1 RED sentry gun from ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'') and its ammos in a train that is currently stopped on a railway bridge. The second is a part of the Biker Heist, and sees the heister boarding a freight train and steal a BCI helmet.

* ''VideoGame/TheStalinSubway'' features this trope as a ''selling point'', proudly featuring Moscow Metro in it's promotional materials. In gameplay, there are several levels where you get to travel between stations filled with enemy agents, taking on enemies from the train's back to it's front, and often there are areas where you (or unfortunate mooks) might fall off the train on the railway tracks.

* ''VideoGame/GunfighterTheLegendOfJesseJames'', being set in the Wild West, has it's fourth level set on a locomotive, where players controlling Jesse have to go from the back of the train to it's front, killing every mook hindering his way in the process, to force the train to stop before it squashes his girlfriend, the DamselInDistress Zee who is ChainedToARailway.

* VideoGame/Puppeteer2013: One section of a level is a race agaist General Bull and Horse (General Horse transforms into a train) across a desert landscape. There are sections where you must board and cross the roof of the train to damage General Horse.

** ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor'': Chapter 6 takes place mostly on a very posh train called the Excess Express, in a loose parody of ''Literature/MurderOnTheOrientExpress'' and, more broadly, a pastiche of {{whodunnit}} stories.
