Bedford Station

Your Fallout 4 guide to Bedford Station. Discover the Railway Rifle, battle Feral Ghouls, find hidden loot, and uncover secrets within the station's terminals.

Alright, so you're heading towards Bedford Station in Fallout 4. If you've been following the train tracks from the south, you'll spot a blue train car sitting right on the tracks. Hop inside – it's a good spot to use that Sleeping Bag to top off your health before things get dicey. You'll also find a Railway Rifle and some Railway Spikes in here. This rifle is pretty powerful, but it fires slow and its ammo isn't super common, so use it wisely.

Keep following the tracks north. You'll start running into the locals: Feral Ghouls. There are about six of them right off the bat, with another group chilling near the loading dock building further up. Expect to run into around a dozen in total, including a tougher, leveled-up ghoul by that loading dock.

As you push north, take out any ghouls that get in your way. When it's clear, look for a white rail tower. Head inside and check out the “Stationmaster’s Terminal”. Load up the Bedford Station Recording from it. Give it a listen – it tells a story about a failed rescue attempt, and that bloodstain near the terminal? Yeah, it's not a good sign. After you leave the tower, look just north of the stairs for the body of a guy named Dutchman. He's got a note, Dutchman’s Instructions, that hints at a blue barrel packed with loot. East of the tower, you'll see a water tower. Check around its base for the corpse of Helena, another voice from the recording, who has Helena’s Instructions.

Keep moving north along the tracks, dealing with any more ghouls. Your next stop is another blue train car. Head to the southern end of it, and you'll find a blue barrel inside. Crack it open – it's a Dead Drop container stuffed with all sorts of goodies like ammo, chems, and food.

Finally, push on north to the loading dock building. There will be more Ferals hanging around here, and some might even be playing dead, so be ready. Once you've cleared them out, head inside the building. You can find a “Loading Dock Terminal” that spills some beans about shady dealings between this station and a nearby quarry. Look on the floor near a trashcan for a Cargo Handler’s Note. It confirms the corruption and gives you an idea of what's going on. Other than that, there isn't much else in terms of valuable loot here.
