Rail Crossing is a town in south Lower Underrail.

Description

Rail Crossing is an independent town built inside an old train depot, northwest of South Gate Station. It is a frequent trading partner with South Gate Station and usually a relatively peaceful place.

Most of the townsfolk live on the north side of the westbound railway tracks. The railway yard on the south side has Buzzer's shop, which is initially under attack by the Faceless. Deacon's shop can be accessed by becoming "initiated", or passing a perception check (7) to notice its secret door in the alley behind the bar.

A unique sniper rifle, Dragunov, can be found in the old tunnels below the railway yard. A unique oddity, Old Money, can be found on a huge pile of old money inside an electronically locked warehouse in the Living Quarters area.

How to get there

Rail Crossing is accessible by the metro after the player has delivered the drill parts required to clear the collapsed south metro tunnel. The train won't take you directly to Rail Crossing during the faceless occupation. Once you arrive by train, follow the railway tracks south until you come to an intersection. From there, cross the rail and follow the tracks to west and you'll arrive in Rail Crossing.

You can also walk there through Lower Underrail, but you need at least one TNT Charge to clear the tunnels leading northwest from SGS. Alternatively after the metro tunnel is cleared you can walk there from South Railroad Outpost after taking the elevator in Junkyard, although you'll encounter two Lurkers right after the outpost, walking across the metro tracks ensures you won't fall victim to the traps across the route.
