Spirit Train

The Spirit Train is the primary means of transportation in The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. This huge locomotive is used to navigate one's way around New Hyrule. Like the S.S. Linebeck from The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, the parts of the Spirit Train can be replaced with other parts. Apparently created by the Spirits of Good, the Spirit Train is a powerful, fast locomotive that was placed in the Tower of Spirits and turned to stone, only to be used by a hero in times of danger. Link, a train engineer, turns out to be this hero, and the Spirit Train is his to command.

The Spirit Train serves as Link's default train after his Wooden Train is damaged beyond repair after derailing. Initially, it comes with only the engine and passenger car. Later on, when enemies like Bullbos and Dark Trains begin roaming New Hyrule, Alfonzo aids Link by adding a cannon to the train. Eventually, Link finds himself in the Fire Realm and learns that Kagoron requires a shipment of Mega Ice to cool down a recent lava flow blocking the entrance to Goron Village. In order to safely transport it to the village, Kagoron gives Link a freight car to haul the ice over.

There are also different train sets Link can switch the Spirit Train out with, such as his old one, a Wooden Train, by buying these parts off of Linebeck III in exchange for Treasures, the most valuable set being the Golden Train.

The symbol on the front of the spirit train is a depiction of a force gem on its mantle. This is most likely because these force gems are the primary power source of the spirit tracks.
