Overview
Wrong Side of the Tracks is the infamous train chase. Big Smoke takes CJ to Unity Station to crash a deal between the Vagos and the San Fierro Rifa, but the Vagos escape on a train. CJ rides a Sanchez alongside the train while Smoke shoots the four Vagos on board.
As with Running Dog, CJ arrives to find C.R.A.S.H. leaving Smoke's place. The mission is remembered for its difficulty and for Smoke's complaint that CJ only had to follow the train, which became one of the most quoted lines in the series. The meeting between the Vagos and the San Fierro Rifa is also an early sign of the drug network CJ later uncovers.
Walkthrough
- Drive Smoke to Unity Station.
- When the Vagos flee on the Brown Streak, get on the Sanchez with Smoke riding behind you.
- Ride along the tracks next to the train, avoiding the roadblock and oncoming trains.
- Keep pace with the carriage where the Vagos stand so Smoke can hit them.
- Eliminate all four before the train reaches the end of the line, then drive Smoke home.
Tips
- Ride on the right side of the train so Smoke has the best angle.
- Stay level with the Vagos rather than ahead of them.
- If you lose the train, it is better to fail and retry than chase it out of town.
