The '''Railroad''' is an exterior region located north of [[The Mountain]]. It becomes accessible after an earthquake clears the blocked pass on the 3rd of [[Summer]] in the first year. As you wake up a message reads "There was an earthquake during the night."

On random days between 9am and 6pm, a train can pass through the area. If the player is outdoors, a message will pop up saying "A train is passing through Stardew Valley" accompanied by a train whistle sound.

On random days between 9am and 6pm, a train can pass through the area. If the player is outdoors, a message will pop up saying "A train is passing through Stardew Valley" accompanied by a train whistle sound.

While the train cars pass by, items such as [[Leprechaun Shoes]], [[Stone]], [[Coal]], [[Iron Ore]], [[Wood]] and [[Minerals#Geodes|Geodes]] may fall off and be acquired. The player need not be present when the train goes by, but dropped items will disappear overnight, so they must be collected the same day. The train will pass by and drop items even if the game is paused. If the player triggers a Railroad cutscene (''e.g.,'' the wizard's [[Quests#Dark Talisman|Dark Talisman quest]]) while a train is passing, the train will be invisible (but audible) except for smoke clouds from the locomotive.

A player who stands in front of the train as it approaches or attacks the train with certain [[tools]] or [[weapons]] will suffer minor damage and be knocked back. The player can get stuck between the passing train and the platform, suffering damage repeatedly, losing all Health, and passing out.

There are only 31 locations where forageable items can spawn, and initially they are mostly covered by [[weeds]], sticks, and rocks. Once the debris is cleared, items can spawn at an average rate of 0.1 per night.<ref name="forage_spawn"/> The map shows the possible locations as red and magenta tiles; when the original trees are present, the magenta tiles have a 90% smaller chance of spawning items because they are identified as being behind the original trees.

*Standing in front of a train will cause damage to the player. Standing inside the right side of the train tunnel will cause the player to get stuck, and eventually pass out if their health is drained.
