Derailed #35

3.35. Derailed

It opens after you finish The Paleto Score, and it starts at Trevor's trailer in Sandy Shores. Trevor learns that Merryweather is moving an expensive cargo by train, and he and Michael derail that train.

Sprinting along the train
As Trevor, ride the Sanchez to the tracks east of Sandy Shores. Use the rocky rise beside the rails as a ramp and jump onto a container car.
Jump the gaps between cars and run to the locomotive, and Trevor knocks out the engineer and drives the train. He passes straight through Paleto Bay station, where it was supposed to stop.
The bridge collision
Switch to Michael and, in a wetsuit, drive the Dinghy upriver to the Raton Canyon rail bridge. If you do not get there in time, you fail.
Trevor sets the train into a head-on crash with an oncoming locomotive, and jumps into the river just before the impact. The freight cars spill off the bridge.
Blow the orange container's doors off with a sticky bomb. If you run out of bombs and cannot open the door, you fail.
Cover and the downstream escape
While Michael pulls the cargo out, as Trevor hold off Merryweather boats, a helicopter, and snipers. Hidden snipers are easier to find with the thermal scope.
Once the cargo is secured, Trevor climbs onto the Dinghy and rides the rapids down to the river mouth. Keep dealing with the Merryweather troops chasing you using Trevor's sniper rifle.
Come out to the sea, beach the Dinghy, and reaching the spot with the two getaway vehicles ready finishes the mission. The cargo in the bag is an old relic, and Michael means to hand it to Martin Madrazo as an apology.
Right after you finish, Steve Haines calls Michael and Trevor and tells them to meet at Cape Catfish. The wrecked train blocks the tracks, so parachute jump 8 cannot be done until you finish Hang Ten.
