Dead Rails is a Roblox zombie survival game where players board an armored train and travel across a dangerous, zombie-filled world, trying to reach safety in Mexico.
The story begins in 1899, a time when zombies had taken over the world, turning all humans and animals into the undead.
You can use different weapons like revolvers, shotguns, and dynamite in this game. You can also explore cities, take the train, team up with friends, and take on various challenges.
