The Phantom Train – A Haunting Encounter in Citadelle des Morts
One of the most terrifying and mind-bending Easter eggs in Black Ops 6: Citadelle des Morts is the mysterious phantom train. Players who venture into the ruins of the Citadelle at night have reported hearing the faint sound of a train whistle echoing through the corridors, even though there is no visible train in sight. This auditory illusion is the first clue that something strange is happening beneath the surface.

The train, as players have discovered, is not just a sound—it's a real, albeit spectral, presence within the game. To encounter the train, players need to venture to the map’s outermost edges, particularly near the abandoned train station that seems to have been left in disrepair. If you stand in the right spot and look toward the old tracks at precisely midnight (game time), the train will begin to materialize from the fog. It’s a ghostly apparition—its metal exterior glowing faintly with a blue hue, steam billowing from the engine as it rolls through the deserted station.
But the train isn’t just for show. Players have reported that if they hop onto the train, they’re taken to a hidden dimension within the game, a kind of purgatory-like area where the rules of time and space seem to warp. The atmosphere is dark and oppressive, and players encounter strange zombie enemies that seem to be manifestations of the souls trapped on the train. The only way out is to survive long enough to reach the end of the tracks, where you can find a hidden treasure chest that grants powerful weapons or perks for the rest of the round.
The Phantom Train Easter egg has left many wondering about its deeper significance. Some speculate that it could be tied to the story of the Citadelle des Morts, possibly revealing more about the ancient, cursed civilization that once inhabited the area. Others believe that the train could be a metaphor for the inescapable fate of the game’s characters, caught in a never-ending loop of survival.
