The BMS Black Bolt Locomotive must be fully researched in the Vehicle IconFilterVehicle.png Tech Tree in order to be produced.

Storage & Transport

The BMS Longrider cannot be stored in a Storage Depot, Seaport or Storage Ship.
It can be packaged into a large Shippable and transported only by certain Shipping Vehicles (Barge, Freighter, Flatbed Car). It can be lifted by any crane but only a Large Crane can undeploy and move while holding it.

Tactics

The BMS Longrider is essential for transporting any types of goods to a destination. Depending on the destination, and how much resources the player wants to carry, it can have a maximum of 14 Flatbed Cars (one Locomotive and 14 Flatbed Cars).

Using these makes large trains the most powerful vehicle in the game, logistics-wise, as their ability to transport Resource Containers, Shipping Containers, and vehicles (in both crate form, or standard vehicle form) in large quantities. Even a minimum of six Flatbed Cars carries more equipment/resources than a Freighter.

Putting 100 Coal in the single inventory slot of each Flatbed Cars of a train is a good way to always have spare fuel for emergencies.

Trivia

  • Despite having a low profile, the player is unable to vault over it, meaning they must walk around the entire train in order to bypass it.
