Alyx got 1500 chaos points by derailing the tran.

Great breakdown. I always loved the look of these things. You can also see a stationary razor train on hotel_street and one with open side panels on c17_water_tower.
Regarding the wideness of the tracks I think it's safe to assume that the cars are adjustable to fit a variety of tracks. As for locomotion, I'd guess each car acts as its own locomotive. Maybe they opted for the traditional method by the time of HL2 to make production faster.

[@jd_kreeper2799]

Or the locomotive is at the back of the train.

[@digimaks]

They certainly resembles American rail auto carriers, that has three levels for automobiles in them.

[@wceyuki]

They also similarly represent 3-bay American Car & Foundry covered hoppers, which have that same rounded design.

Fun fact: The car that gets pushed sideways and is carrying the advisors is facing backward during the crash scene. In the post-crash area, the car is flipped and is now facing forwards. Also, one of the other cars that derailed is sitting on the tracks in the crash, but in the aftermath, there is a pile of rubble under it.

Great attention to details, nice video!

[@Windennn]

With valves usual attention to detail, it really bugged me that there was no locomotive. But given how low the tunnels are, the locomotive wouldn’t even have fit.

[@GNuttyNotUrBuddy]

Great follow up, gotta love it!

[@ajengleodita5495]

By the way everyone didn't notice this change the half-life razor train has a locomotive now it's just one of the carts are now the locomotive

[@ajengleodita8007]

Well theres a problem with the old razor train is that theres no driver instead the pilot is inside the cart so they changed it

[@bullseyecanada]

I just learned something!

[@pray7056]

My personal headcanon is that the combine trains were automated until Alyx derailed one and killed a few advisors, this prompted the Combine to add proper engines

[@TheGs4_4449]

for me i think that the locomotive was reversing, as otherwise they would not be needed in HL2 if the trains are atonomys.

[@itsjusttyler5315]
