Stats

Battle
Phantom Train's attacks include the dangerous Diabolic Whistle, which inflicts a random status ailment on each party member; Acid Rain; and Saintly Beam, both of which do mediocre magic damage to the entire party. It will only use Diabolic Whistle regularly if only two party members are alive, so if the player boarded the train with Shadow and keeps all party members healthy, they can avoid the risk.
The Phantom Train is vulnerable to Sabin's Meteor Strike, which is an oddity, as most large enemies and bosses are immune to the attack.
Strategy
As an undead enemy, the Phantom Train can be easily killed by using a Phoenix Down on it.
If one doesn't want to use a Phoenix Down, Sabin should use Meteor Strike while Cyan attacks with Fang while keeping Sky in effect. If Shadow is in the party, he should use melee attacks or throw unwanted weapons.

Trivia
- The Phantom Train is vulnerable to Sabin's Meteor Strike, called Suplex in the Super Nintendo localization. A suplex is a throw used in wrestling, which usually involves arching/bridging either overhead or twisting to the side, so the opponent is slammed to the mat back-first. Sabin being able to grapple and throw such an enormous machine has become an inside joke among fans.
