Which Counter-Strike map was the first to feature a moving train as a central gameplay element?

The story behind the answer

Train was the first Counter-Strike map to feature a moving train as a central gameplay element. Its setting is a rail yard, where freight cars, platforms, tracks, and train interiors shape the routes around the bombsites.

The trains are more than decoration: they create cover, block sightlines, and divide movement paths. Their arrangement has changed across major versions, so the exact positions and timings players remember from one release may not match another. The map’s recognizable rail-yard identity has nevertheless remained consistent.

Train is a bomb-defusal map and has been included in multiple competitive Counter-Strike eras. Players sometimes associate moving trains with other industrial maps, but Train is the series location most directly built around them. Its long sightlines and layered cover have made it a recurring tactical test in professional play.
