Railway transportation was used by both GDI and Nod in the southern United States theater of operations, early in the Second Tiberium War. One mission during that war saw GDI forces under the command of McNeil had captured a Nod train station that was being used to evacuate artifacts from a crashed Scrin ship. The train that the GDI forces captured was later destroyed by a Nod defensive fortification (laser defenses) on the east end of a railway bridge in the next GDI mission. Few Nod mission in second tiberium war involve capturing or disabling trains to extract important person. The universe saw that many railway lines have been disabled due to changing of earth texture (credited to Tiberium investation).
