Razor Train



As with much of Combine technology, the Razor Train is large, mostly featureless and imposing. Custom-built to work on human rail networks transporting standard, secret cargo, and people. Their ramlike, sliver-thin appearance and all-black finish add to the threatening look of the fast-moving vehicle. Perhaps the most disconcerting aspect of the Razor Train is its horn: a distinctive, discordant bellow that announces the Train's arrival and sounds more like a wounded animal than an air horn. They have ladders leading up to a compartment where the driver's compartment should be, supporting the idea that there is a crew. They are taller than standard locomotives and may be automated. One particular function they serve is to transport humans to Nova Prospekt, the Combine-controlled prison/laboratory, and transport completed Stalkers and Overwatch Soldiers to the Citadel.
