LEGO City 60052 Cargo Train

Released in 2014, the set contains 888 pieces and focuses on rail cargo activity within a contemporary LEGO city setting.

The subject is rail freight, making it suitable for urban, industrial and logistics scenes within a LEGO City layout.

The set contains 888 pieces and 4 minifigures. The listed characters are a train worker, woman, with an orange safety vest with train logo over an olive green hoodie, light bluish gray legs and a red cap with ear defenders, a man with green overalls over a red shirt, green cap and goatee beard, a man with a blue jacket with orange stripes, dark blue legs, red cap and sunglasses, and a train worker with an orange safety vest with train logo over an olive green hoodie, dark bluish gray legs, red hard hat and black beard.

This set is aimed at builders who want to add a cargo train to a LEGO city, whether for play, display or collection. Within City Trains, it represents freight operations rather than passenger service, so it works as a logistics focused counterpart to other train subjects.
