Did you know there are two types of trains?

[Rubygame]

Hi guys!
Coincidentally, thanks to this thread (https://www.belltreeforums.com/threads/favorite-city-hall-and-train-theme.626112/), I discovered that in New Leaf there are two types of trains, but it is very rare to find a town with a red train:

The train we all know is this:

Was I the only one who, despite my 10 years of playing, didn't know there were two different trains?

 

[Acies]

I did not know at all. It's small, relatively useless details that make New Leaf feel like an actual, lived-in town to me.

 

[Aerith]

I didn't know this at all! I feel the same way as Acies; this is such a cute detail and I miss discovering things like this!

 

[Muna]

+1 I didn't know this at all! That's mind blowing, after all this years... Wow.

 

[skarmoury]

Woah I never knew there was a red train :0 !!

 

[KittenNoir]

Oh wow after all these years I am still learning new things!!!

 

[Giddy]

I bet thats the train that held the original mayor but didnt realise it doesnt stop here.

Now it makes me wanna wait and see in other towns to see if ithas that one.

 

[xlisapisa]

no i did not know this, its very interesting. i wonder if anyone has the red train.

That is really cool, I love small attention to details like that in New Leaf which is why I feel like New Leaf is a more fleshed out AC game. I wonder if there are other train colors out there that we don’t know about?

I’ve heard about this!! but I’m pretty sure that color of train appears randomly in passing, like when you get blocked from going to Main Street. If a town actually had a red train it would be really cool though

Maybe so! The wiki isn't very precise about this

that’s fair, I looked at another wiki and it seems more clear that it’s about the passing train, but then again I might be wrong

Yes!! This wiki explains it clearly, I hope to see the red train stopped at the tracks sooner or later

 

[Seastar]

I don't think I've seen the red train, or if I did, I didn't notice. Interesting!

 

[podunk]

After all this time, new details! Wow!

 

[Alolan_Apples]

That’s pretty interesting. But judging by the train type, that’s the same kind of train, but with a different color.

 

[LambdaDelta]

actually, yes. I've seen the red one plenty, myself

 

[rocketspruggs]

I knew the red train existed, but I completely forgot about it, 'til I read this thread.

 

[leafturnedover]

Its funny - I'm surprised to learn this and really want to see it for myself, and yet I also feel like I've almost run into that train while trying to cross at night! Oh the enigma of NL...

If I remember correctly the red train rides through town at 10:21 AM and I think 8:35 PM is the other time it appears.
