The Train - Escape to Normandy

THE TRAIN: A daring and deadly escape behind enemy lines! 

August, 1944. The German stranglehold on Europe is slipping. The liberation of occupied France 
looms on the horizon. In an effort to escape the advancing Allied forces, the Germans begin 
desperate evacuation of men, machinery and the spoils of war. 

On the outskirts of Metz, a heavily armed train of the Third Reich sits sweltering on the dead of
night. On board lies a secret cargo. Renoirs, Monets, Picassos-the entire plundered art 
collection of france-are to be smuggled to Berlin under a cover of darkness. Once in Hitler's 
clutches, these priceless masterpieces could be lost to mankind forever. 
Only you can stop it! 

In The Train, you are a leader in the French Resistance. Your mission: capture the armored 'war 
train' and successfully commandeer it through enemy lines for a randevouz with the Allies at 
Riviere, Normandy. 

With the help of a brave corps of Resistance fighters, you'll actually engineer a WWII locomotive
and engage in some of the most realistic and hostile combat simulations ever created for the 
personal computer. Traps, ambushes and sabotage may await you at any station, any bridge or any 
crossing. 
Enemy Planes will strafe you in heated pursuit. Gunboats can blast you right off the rails. 

The Train. Shovel coal or shovel your own grave.
