Half-Life: Blue Shift Hints
How do I get onto the flatbed freight cars?
1 of 4: You can get onto the one connected to the tank's flatbed by jumping up on the railing near the door and then jumping to the tank. It isn't easy, but it can be done.
2 of 4: As for the other flatbed, you can jump from the back of the tank's flatbed to some boxes and then to it if the tank isn't destroyed yet (because when it is, it blows up the boxes in the middle, and the jump is too long).
3 of 4: But the best way to do both flatbeds is to first blow up the tank turret, then use a jump-crouch (jump up and then hit the crouch and forward arrow keys) to get up onto the little connectors between flatbeds.
4 of 4: This doesn't work on the sides of the flatbeds, but only on the connectors and the ends they connect.
