Central Union Railroad Camp is a location in Red Dead Redemption 2 in the Roanoke Ridge region of the New Hanover state.

Description[]

The site consists of camps for workers, tool supplies, and the unfinished track. Workers can be seen hacking away at the uncompleted railroad.

Events of Red Dead Redemption 2[]

First Encounter[]

In 1899, the construction is at a halt. The foreman of the site, Percy Whitsickle, enlists Arthur to help find a thief among the workers who's been stealing wages. Arthur discovers that the junior foreman named Randal was stealing the worker wages and hid it in a tree. The player can let Randal go, kill Randal or bring Randal back to camp.

Second Encounter[]

After that, the camp has moved but progress is halted due to a group of thugs working for Leviticus Cornwall. Whitsickle asks Arthur for help dealing with them. Once the task has been completed, Arthur will be rewarded with $50, and construction will resume.

If Arthur kills the thugs before Whitsickle asks for his help and goes to see him, he will be thanked, and receive as well the 50 dollars.

Third Encounter[]

Arthur can find that the camp has moved quite far north and the track is nearly done. Whitsickle informs the player of this and offers them anything they wish from the supply tent.

Epilogue[]

By 1907, the railroad has been completed and any remains of the camp are gone. Despite its completion, no trains can be seen using the track at that point.

Missable Item[]

  • Property Deed (Warning: Taking the Property Deed will make the event area stuck in second encounter and cannot continue to third encounter.)[verification overdue]

Trivia[]

  • Unlike Castor's Ridge and Appleseed Timber Company's similar progressive nature, the camps label becomes removed on the map upon completion of its final stage.
  • All the workers are of Cantonese descent, which is a possible nod to the Chinese immigrants who worked and built the First Transcontinental Railroad.
  • Even though the workers are holding pickaxes, they are still armed and will fire at the player if they cause a disturbance.
  • During the Epilogue, Susan Grimshaw's grave can be found located at the top of a cliff, west of the camp.
  • During the second encounter, if the player attacks Cornwall's men before going to the foreman, they will have in their possession the Schofield Revolver, Volcanic Pistol, Double-Action, or M1899 on the condition that each has already been acquired.[1]
  • In the second encounter, Leviticus Cornwall is still talked about as if he was alive even after his death during the events of "Just a Social Call".
