What is the name of the train featured at the beginning of Resident Evil 0?

The train featured at the beginning of Resident Evil 0 is called the Ecliptic Express.

Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen first meet aboard the Ecliptic Express while investigating a series of murders in the Arklay Mountains. The train becomes an early survival-horror setting as its passengers and crew are affected by a biological outbreak. The characters must move through its carriages while uncovering clues about Umbrella’s experiments.

Resident Evil 0 was designed as a prequel to the original Resident Evil. Its opening train sequence establishes the connection between Rebecca’s investigation and the mansion incident that follows. After the train journey, the protagonists reach Umbrella’s training facility, another major location in the game.

The train’s name is easy to confuse with the game’s broader settings because the Ecliptic Express is only the opening location. It is not the name of the facility, the mountains, or the railway route surrounding the incident.
