The massive open world of Red Dead Redemption 2 is hiding all sorts of secrets and treasures. Sometimes players can find maps to these treasures, but other times they just have to find them through some good old fashioned exploration. One treasure players can find without following a map is on a derailed train south of Cotorra Springs.

The exact location of the derailed train in Red Dead Redemption 2 can be seen on the map below. Upon arrival, players can loot the immediately accessible train cars for some valuable items, including cash and jewelry. However, the real treasure lies in a vertical car accessible via the nearby cliff.

We'll explain how to get to the vertical train car, but those that prefer a video guide should check out this video from the YouTube channel Ninja Pups:

Climb up to where the vertical train car is, and then follow the gravel path to the right of it to get to the higher cliff. Get a running start and jump over the gap to reach the ledge near the derailed train car's opening. Hop into the opening and go to the bottom of the car to find two gold bars and some booze.

After collecting the two gold bars, Red Dead Redemption 2 players will want to sell them for cash, with gold bars going for $500 a pop. Unfortunately, gold bars can't just be sold to any vendor on the map, with players having to pay a visit to a fence in order to offload the goods. Click here for fence locations in Red Dead Redemption 2 to sell the gold bars and get a hefty chunk of change for the trouble.

Collecting and selling gold bars remains one of the best ways players can make money in Red Dead Redemption 2. However, there are other methods to make money in the game as well, like completing story missions, robbing banks, and more. Whatever players choose to do, it never hurts to have extra spending money in the Wild West.
