Is there a trope dedicated to mysteries on a a train? because i noticed most of those have the lights go off at one point (lets say because the train goes through a tunnel), and the lights come back on and someone is dead. Its amazing how many culprits in a train mystery can pull doing that off.
hey, shouldn't we possibly merge this with Death in the Clouds and call it Murder In Transit or something, also including the Murder On A Cruise trope that is similar to both?
or maybe just make it a super-trope
Really it would have been more sensible to launch to this name and then manually make Train-Based Thriller the redirect. I'll admit, the idea was last minute. Nobody commented on the name and then it became apparent that so many examples were fitting the "Murder On The Orient Express" title mold.

I don't know how to add examples but I believe Lord El Melloi II Case Files Rail Zeppelin arc fits as well as Poptropica's Mystery Train Island.
