Getting the train moving...

[Foxtrot]

I think this has happened in a recent patch. Before, I used to be able to buy a train ticket, go through the cut screams stay on the train at the station where I moved off again - allowing me to rob people while the train was moving. 

Rhis doesn’t seem to happen now - the train just doesn’t move after arriving. 

So do I now have to find a moving train before I can rob it, or am I doing something wrong?

Not sure. I think i did a train robbery after the latest patch, but it might have been before. I'll try it tonight and see.  I still need the stupid bracelets for the Fence trinkets.

Did you get accused of a crime?  that will stop the train and it won't move anymore,  you have to go a ways away and camp for the night to let things despawn/respawn.

No, I made sure I was bounty free at that stage. 

Im going for my weapons 2 challenge next and come back to the train afterwards. Some parts of these challenges are frustrating, not because of the tasks, but them sometimes not cooperating the way you want them.

For the train robbing challenges i just took a train to Riggs station (nice and secluded) then when the train stops, rob one or two of the passengers then escape and run to Wallace station and repeat. The train doesn't need to be moving to rob it and robbing just 1 person counts.

Also, idk about whether trains move after you get there, I'll have to do some testing.

Also also, 'cut screams' is my new favorite thing

Edit: The train worked just fine for me. It seemed to take forever before it took off again tho.
