‘A Train is Passing Through Stardew Valley’ Explained

Despite the explosion of the life-sim/farming simulator genre, ConcernedApe's Stardew Valley remains one of the most popular titles in 2021. The Indie smash hit first launched back in 2016, and has only grown since. Although the world of Stardew Valley continues to expand, players still spend most of their time exploring the original Pelican Town.

There are a lot of different events in Stardew Valley, but one that often confuses players is the Train Passing Through. This event will only occur if the player is outside and the Railroad area has opened up. Although it's never explained, players can pick up a good amount of resources by paying attention to the event.

The Railroad in Pelican Town

Before the Train Passing Through event can occur, Stardew Valley players will first need to gain access to the Railroad area of the map. This is an exterior region that can be found to the north of the Mountain, and is initially blocked off by a boulder. On the 3rd of Summer in the first year, an earthquake will clear the boulder, opening up the Railroad.

After this happens, there's a random chance each day that the Train will pass through Stardew Valley between 9am and 6pm. The event pop-up will only occur if players are outside, and is always accompanied by a train whistle. If players are close to the Railroad at the time, they may be able to get there in time to see the train passing through. However, even players down on Stardew Valley's beach may want to head to the Railroad afterward.

Train Resources in Stardew Valley

There are several train designs that can pass through Pelican Town, ranging from freight to passenger. Players who try to stand in their way will take damage and be knocked to the side. Attempting to use one of Stardew Valley's tools or weapons on the train will also cause the player to take damage.

As the train passes through, it will drop a variety of items onto the tracks. These include Stone, Coal, Iron Ore, Wood, Geodes, and even Leprechaun Shoes. Players who arrived to see the train will be able to follow behind it, picking up the items as they fall. However, even players who arrive after the train has departed will still be able to gather the loot. It's often worth a trip to the Railroad on the day that the train passes through, as the items will despawn when players sleep in Stardew Valley.

Stardew Valley is available now for mobile, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
