    I struggled with this achievement on the Xbox One. I kept missing the parts, or misgrabbing the hills and moving them. Since this game is a Play Anywhere title, you can play this on PC. I finished the game on Xbox One, went back into the PC version, logged into the game using my gamertag and synced my save, and then played just this section. I found it much easier with a mouse. Left click and grab with the mouse. It makes it a lot easier to grab the correct section, and is far more accurate than with the Xbox controller, or at least it was for me.

    ttfp saylowI'll see if my ten year old laptop can run this! laugh
    I definitely won't be unlocking it on Xbox, I can barely make it past the third "move" before failing… and the game is leaving Game Pass "soon"…

    CHIEFRAPTORJust completed this. Took me two tries. Biggest tips I can give are to keep your cursor on the far right of the screen and in line with the train tracks. This lets you react quickest to go either up or down depending on the next piece of terrain. The track also clicks into place so you don't have to be perfectly accurate, just get it close enough and it will lock in.

    I got lucky and got it on my second try with a few close calls. Definitely would be better suited for mouse and keyboard.

    For this achievement, you must pass the Train Chapter, without the brakes screech, the train can slow down, but if you hear a noise of brakes, restart.

    I recommend you to use the north path in the intersection, because its easier, I post my video so you can see it and have the idea of what is coming in your path.

    If I can improve my solution, please comment it.

    This achievement is probably the most difficult to get. General Tips - the train can slow down, you only fail if you here the brakes screech. The pattern is the same every-time, if you fail restart the chapter.

    Lighted vDefinitely isn't as hard as everyone here is making it out to be. Did it 3rd try using a regular controller with stick drift.
