How Historically Accurate is the Ghost Train in Red Dead Redemption 2?

[@RealPixels]

What's creepier: the ghost woman, ghost train, vampire, or incest pig farmers?

[@skeletonbuyingpealts7134]

Incest Pig Farmers because they actually exist

If it wasn't for the internet I wouldn't have even known a ghost train existed. Multiple attempts to get it to spawn as well.

[@RealPixels]

I had my fair share of annoyances trying to get it to spawn for this video too. The trick is to face away from where it spawns-at 3am, I stood in front of the Lemoyne sign and faced away, and it spawned instantly! You need to trick the game into thinking you don't want it, I guess. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@ashroskell]

It was Agnes Dowed’s ghost in the swamps for me. I never knew about her until I learned about her from the internet. Apparently, the ghost train only spawns once per playthrough, so make sure you don’t get distracted when you see it. Especially if you plan to grab a screenshot. I was lucky the first time I saw it, as I didn’t know about it and sure as hell wasn’t expecting it. I didn’t have my wits about me enough to snap it though. It did make me wonder if anyone could answer this question, though? What reaction, if any, do you get from pursuers if you were to ride into it while they chased you? I’d like to think it would spook their horses and throw panicking riders, but the odds of having both things happen at once seem slim to me?

[@ashroskell]

@@lycanthis9963: Oh, boy! I know right!? I’ve been scouring the world for a Robin so I can get that cool black gamblers hat from the trapper, since the start of Chapter 2! After shooting 2 in close succession and getting 3 feathers (and getting the study, etc, for my compendium down) I’m left needing ONE more feather! Yet, now they’re suddenly rarer than the Carolina Parakeet! Driving me nuts!

12:00 I admit i love that the vagabond laws only punished "ugly" beggers, it makes me picture a congress debating whether or not a woman should wear makeup while begging for food

[@litjay7073]

I honestly believe that Congress would debate on some nonsense like that rather than ACTUALLY TRYING TO FEED PEOPLE

[@YSL8704]

SSSniperwolf would be prepared if she was a begger.

[@YoursTruIy_]

There's still so much more history to uncover in this game, I'll honestly never get tired of these videos.

[@corvetteusa01]

Yet again, i think real pixels has finally covered everything with RDR2 you come out with another banger.

[@AlbertAlbertB.]

The name yankees comes from the Dutch names Jan and Kees, which, that is Jan-Kees, was the English name for the Dutch settlers in New York, as far as I can remember.

[@Andrew-bo2ig]

So happy that you're still making these videos!

[@Ashws_]

Just boosting some good content for the algo, love your work man

[@ANNEKE1999]

La Llorona has another reference in the game - You can find a Nightfolk woman crying by the shore in the Bayou. If you come too close, she'll attack you.

[@ButterfieldEric]

“another man yelling” 😂 that really got me.

[@therandom.cowboy5526]

Love your videos man, I wish you success.

[@cain666]

Another really great video - already looking forward to the next! Wish they wouldn't end. I felt the same way about the game.

[@BlondieYouTube]

Fun Fact: Yankee probably comes from how the English referred to their newly conquered Dutch colonists. It's not uncommon for the Dutch to combine two names as one, mostly combined with the common name of 'Jan', such as Geertjan, Pieter-Jan, Henk-Jan, or a very common one, Jan-Kees, of which probably the word Yankees originates from.

the ghost train is soooo accurate yeah i was around in 1800's i saw soooo many ghost trains

They had a much smoother ride too. Not quite as loud as regular trains. Shame they kinda went away.

"Police Brutality would not be unusual for this era" nor any other...

American Police: starting as slave catchers and a long history of brutality and bullying while being notoriously against ANY kind of reform or change. Also American Police: why don't people like us?

[@Ghoulstille]

American Police weren't called Crusher's for nothing. That moniker should still exist cause they still love to crush skulls to this day.

[@jeffersonclippership2588]

HOW IS THERE STUFF I STILL HAVEN'T SEEN YET

[@Ghoulstille]

Getting Agnes Dowd to appear can be difficult. You have to be riding through Bluewater Marsh after dark and it has to be foggy. On clear nights she will not appear. But then you also take the chance of running into The Night Folk.

[@ungabunga7879]

I know dude, its rockstars gift i guess, the fact that you can have hundreds of hours and still be discovering new interactions or locations is truly one of the greatest feats in gaming

[@terminallumbago6465]

I've been trying to spawn the ghost train for a long time, never seen it. I must be doing something wrong. I go there at 2am, clear the npcs and still nothing. what am i doing wrong?

[@RealPixels]

It took me ages too! I eventually got it to spawn by standing in front of the Lemoyne sign and looking away (i.e., the train spawns behind you) at 3am. Got it multiple times using that method.

[@jasonmenke7423]

[@logarhythmic6859]

"Yankee" has different meanings depending where you are. I'm from the midwestern US, and I don't consider myself a Yankee. I'd consider anybody in the Northeastern states a Yankee. And I'm sure people in those states have an even more specific definition. Basically, it's usually used to refer to somebody else (it isn't usually a self-imposed title), and people keep pointing to more and more specific places the closer you get.

Good stuff, and well made, but consider varying inflection in your narration. It can be grating to hear the same style of inflection at the end of every sentence.

[@ashroskell]

Um . . . Speaking of, “bizarre,” how about your title’s question? How historically accurate is a not-real thing? . . . 🤔. Some honest constructive criticism here: That didn’t stop this from being an awesome video, filled with fascinating facts and managing to tick the three BBC boxes, “Educate, Entertain and Inform,” brilliantly researched and mining yet more gold from the Rockstar game that changed us all. And showing us all how brilliantly researched the writing and art design of Red Dead really is, by exploring the real history which provides the foundation for the story, sub-plots and side characters that so enrich the experience. But, I almost didn’t even bother with this video because of its nonsensical title, which I took to be badly thought out click bait, not knowing your channel well enough to know better. I would give more thought to your titles if I were you. Your content is too good to allow such titles to sabotage it, in my opinion.

[@ashroskell]

@@Flex-cx7uj : Did you read my whole comment? You might be aware of really bad-faith KZbinrs out there, like MrBossForTheWin, who (among other things) steal other people’s content, use click bait titles that deliberately mislead viewers and who generally exploit the good faith of viewers for the clicks? This title reads like one he, or someone like him, would use. I have filtered such, “creators,” out of my viewing, but doing so has attuned me to the types of titles that automatically set off warning bells in my head. When I saw this I passed on by, then saw it a second time and figured, as I didn’t know the creator’s name, I’d give it 30 seconds. I stayed for the whole video and loved it. In fact, I’d say it was a better quality video than many of the ones I’m subscribed to. So I subscribed. But I stand by my criticism. The title for this one is poorly phrased at best. And this video will have been ignored by a lot of Red Dead fans, burned out on content thieves and low effort click bait manufacturers, that I guarantee. Doesn’t look like that’s going to hurt this guy’s viewing figures much, but it’s a shame. While I get your point, it misses mine.
