So the identity of the Rail Tracer was the young conductor huh which is Claire that explains why there were two bodies in umm episode 3. And that tortue scene..... damn Claire.

And wow Czeslaw despite all the people you chose Ladd oh maybe because he is crazy but man, Czelaw is my favorite character XD.

umm the woman in fatigues wws Rachel and she work for the Daily Days lol and I thought she was dangerous but nope, well glad she wasn't.

Hmmm, I dunno, should I have to laugh when I see someone dancing in pool of blood? Or find it marvellous when someone is pushing other's head on the tracks?
Noone is taking anything seriously here. Czes is acting in very childlike manner even he has soul of few hundered years old man (no matter if that was stage). Apart from Rachel this was pretty boring episode.
And I found whole revelation of Rail Tracer very uninspiring.

Yep, that was madness, and worst part is this show won't go for way too long, and I guess that way too many thing will be left unresolved. Oh well.

I LOVE VINO! He's got the bloodthirst of Ladd but with a sense of loyalty and justice. One of my faves easily, and I love how he had a past as an acrobat!

I suspected that the conductor was Rail Tracer, since he is on the Baccano cover poster and therefore probably didn't die right at the beginning.

I wonder, though, why the lights flicker/dim when he is about to kill someone... just for effect?

That was a bloody episode. So Vino made his moves and we saw how he killed the older conductor and the friend of Ladd.

The skip the time back and forth. But I don't really understand why Czeslaw want that Ladd kill everyone? Oo

And who's that president of Daily Dails? He know so much :o
I'm so curious what happened on the train. I had to laugh when Rachel tells about what Vino said to her:

"Your ticket please" haha ^^

The episode was very much intresting. XD. Dune was tortured very badly. That scene was most violating in this episode. Atlast the rail tracer's real identity had been revealed. I m xcited to know what will Claire do next with Ladd n Chezlaw.

What an unusual way to tell a story, I mean, I think this is the second time we see the end of the train travel jaja.

And here I was thinking the redhead guy was the corpse, but he is the one doing killing. But, does he have supernatural abilities of some sort? The "monster" looked so ominous not have any supernatural relation...

"Show me your ticket, please".

Lmao, what bad-ass Claire is. The way he stole the other conductor's gun with that kick was awesome.
his killing methods are really brutal tho. I can't handle gore very well so it was uncomfortable for me.

Dallas is a real asshole. I thought I'll like him afterwards since he must have his reasonable backstory but at this point, I feel bad for his sister to have such an asshole brother.

Yup, agree with that XD

Another great episode.
Vino's story was interesting.
Dallas becomes immortal, wonder how that's gonna play out from now on.
Damn, this get more interesting with each episode.

Bring the next episode already!

No surprise. The conductor was tracer and Claire at the same time. I kept confusing the name Vino with Firo tho. So I was like wut for a sec.

Ok so now we finally heard what actually happened on that train. No weird monster or anything. Just some pretty fucked up guys. Well, mostly one but some of the others at least get close.

Now I'm just wondering why that one guy is on that train. For the other relevant passengers it has been revealed more or less already. Although I don't remember it for all of them tbh :P

edit: should have finished watching the episode. Apparently he was on the train for the sole reason that he is a train conductor...

LMAO that little kid that made that request is actually over 300 years old, that's... a little... anyway, every single person in this anime is a psychopath, it's crazy... We got the black supernatural thingies' identity, a real person, and probably not even an immortal one...

A 5/5 episode mainly because I'm a fan of Luck.
Love the picture of Gandor Family with Claire. Luck smiled like an angel. He sure was super cute in his childhood. So was Claire who's revealed to be the Rail Tracer 'Vino'.

Bloddy episode! The conductor is a serial killer but an anti-hero serial killer to be more precise!

I also like how they jump from timeline to timeline to tell their story. Unique..

so gory, jeez. but what an exciting ep. did not expect the young conductor to be the rt, but i guess him being at the centre of the poster kinda made it obvious there was no way he would just be there to be killed in like the 1st ep.

Oh so Claire Steinfield(the conductor )aka Vino, is the Rail Tracer. No wonder he didn't appear in a lot of episodes. He looks menacing with all that blood over him. I appreciate a good gory episode, and this was one of those. So this is where Csezlaw gets his head blown off.(back in the first episode).

damn this was a crazy episode. the rail tracer wasn't actually a monster.. or is it? honestly the way claire swallowed up some people doesn't make sense to me. he might not even be fully human so that might explain it. but it's really cool that he's affiliated with the gandors and was considered kind of like a brother to them. very fascinating twists.
we learned why dallas and his goons got turned immortal, and they were planned to be swallowed up by szilard..
turns out the mafia story takes place after the flying pussyfoot incident since the reporter who crawled outside the train, rachel i believe was her name, was giving her account on what she saw on there.

Insane! And here I thought that it's a monster but it's actually a human being. Makes sense. There are only 4 episodes left and I think the story would be too confusing if you add a mythical creature of some kind. I'd like to know more about Claire!

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

Claire or the newly revealed rail tracer made sure to keep those acrobatic skills from the circus useful in his future. Dude became a whole assassin with a twisted code. Well, as long as he's killing bad guys like Ladds men and the terrorists, I don't mind. It's nice to see Rachel turned out to be someone relatively normal. If the run ins with Claire didn't cause her injury, I wonder what did!

This show just gets better and better the deeper into it we get. If my count is right, we're up to 14 dead on the train now?
Tons of great lines, and lots of exposition. Did not expect the Rail Tracer reveal at all, I genuinely thought it was going to be an actual monster and not the conductor guy.
I wonder if Rachel jumped off the train and that's how she hurt her leg. Guess we'll see!
