The Cargo Tram is a cargo transportation vehicle found on Excelcion in Metroid Prime: Federation Force. During the Galactic Federation's use of the base on Excelcion, the Cargo Trams presumably transported important cargo and materials in the base's day to day operations. However, after the Space Pirates overtook the base, they began to mine minerals from the planet and use the Cargo Tram to bring them to the surface. In M15: Mother Lode, the Federation Force is tasked with securing a Cargo Tram and defending it from an onslaught of attacks by Pirates and Zurburats. The Cargo Tram moves very slowly, and the Force must ensure it reaches the surface. It has a machine gun mount on it with a slow rate of weapon fire. The tram can be started and stopped at any time.
