Work Trains Overview
Work trains are privately owned rail vehicles that can be acquired and used in addition to those provided by DVRT . They are:

- Caboose
- BE2-260 (Microshunter)
- DE6-860 (Slug)
- DM1U-150 Utility Rail Vehicle
- Utility Short Flatcar
- Private Locomotives
For some of the work trains to become available, you need to buy keys to special garages in shops , find the garages and unlock them. For others, such as private locomotives , the process is different.
Being privately owned, work trains don’t go through the insurance system . Instead, they need to be serviced manually .
Once acquired, work trains can be used at will, and never despawn . Because of this, work trains are particularly suitable for customization with paint jobs , gadgets and train parts .
Work trains are typically able to be requested anywhere with the comms radio in work train mode , sometimes for a fee . If a work train is cleared with comms radio , it will go back to its default parking location.
Some work trains need to be unlocked in career mode , in order to become available in sandbox mode . In career there's usually a single instance of each work train type in the world. In sandbox, however, many instances may be spawned .
