With the recent Presidential Update of Dead Rails, we got a new train: the Presidential Train. Costing 250 Bonds, this jet-black locomotive comes with a special ability that sets it apart from others. When you kill 25 enemies near the train, a ghostly Abraham Lincoln appears to fight alongside you, a little similar to how the Ghost train works. While the train has its strengths, like extra storage space and bulletproof glass like the Armored Train, it also has drawbacks, such as poor visibility and limited usefulness in long runs.

In this guide, we will tell you how to unlock it, its abilities, and whether the train is worth buying.

How To Get The Presidential Train

  • Kill 25 enemies near the train to fill the Soul Meter inside the cabin.
  • Once the meter reaches 25, Lincoln’s Ghost spawns on top of the train and begins fighting enemies.
  • He wields an axe and can distract enemies, making raids easier.
  • After he dies, you can sell his body for $100.

Pros and Cons of the Presidential Train

Pros

  • Spawns a powerful ally after 25 kills.
  • Bulletproof glass protects you from some enemy shots.
  • Great for town raids as enemies spawn near the train.
  • More item space compared to the Passenger Train.
  • Not too expensive (same cost as Gold Rush).

Cons

  • Requires 25 kills to activate Lincoln’s Ghost.
  • Lincoln only lasted a short time before dying.
  • Less effective later in runs when fights move away from the train.
  • Poor visibility due to large engine size.
  • No headlights, making night travel harder.
  • It can get stuck if too many enemies block the track.

Is The Presidential Train Worth It?

Yes. If you enjoy unique features and want a cool train with a ghostly ally. However, it’s not the best for long runs, since Lincoln’s Ghost is situational and the train struggles at night or when away from towns. For collectors and roleplay fans, it’s definitely worth the 250 Bonds.
