Red Dead Redemption 2 is packed with secrets and Easter eggs, but one of its most impressive hidden encounters has gone unnoticed by many players—the Ghost Train.
While fans often discuss the game’s best-kept secrets on forums like r/RDR2, it turns out that many players have never seen this eerie supernatural event. That’s likely because triggering it is no easy task.
How to Find the Ghost Train in Red Dead Redemption 2
If you want to witness this chilling phenomenon for yourself, here’s what you need to do:
- Travel to Old Greenbank Mill, located in the Scarlett Meadows region of the map.
- Wait until 3 AM in-game time—this is the only window when the train might appear.
- Walk along the nearby train tracks and be patient. Even if you’re there at the right time, the train doesn’t always spawn on the first attempt.
- Pay attention to your horse—if it starts to whinny or act nervous, that’s a sign the train is about to appear.
If it doesn’t show up, set up camp and try again the next night.
A One-Time Supernatural Experience
Unlike some Easter eggs that can be triggered multiple times, the Ghost Train only appears once per playthrough. If you miss it—or just don’t want to wait—you can always watch a video of another player encountering it.
