How to hijack and drive a train in GTA 5?

Question

Is it possible to get into the train and actually drive and control it? I can kill the driver but nothing happens. I've already tried to blow it up and shoot from almost every gun I've got, but no success. It never stops!

Answer 1

The thing is, that you can't stop or drive a train without mods. There is no other way, so you need a PC version of a game and a modification called "Engineer Railway". You will also need a Script Hook and ASI Loader for this mod to work.

Answer 2

There is only one place and time, where you can officially drive a train - it is a single player mission with Trevor, called Derailed. It is a very fun part, where at first place you need to get on the train riding a bike, hijack it and at the end there is a massive crash.
