The fastest land vehicle, the Train is capable of quickly transporting large amounts of cargo. It can only operate at y level 40 and higher.
The Train can only move if it is travelling directly above blocks that are considered valid rail blocks. A list of these is provided below.
Like other transport crafts, the Train can quickly load and unload items using the cargo commands.

Block requirements and limitations:

Railroads may require bends and junctions. Turn signs will automatically rotate cruising trains above them, saving them from having to manually rotate through these.
To create a turn sign, place a sign against the block that you want the train to turn about, then write Left
or Right
on its first line. The sign will only affect trains that are cruising towards it from the direction it is facing.
Note: There must be no blocks between the turn sign and the train except air.
