Initially, Ross was only accompanied by Danny (and occasionally by Arin "Creator/{{Egoraptor}}" Hanson, the main show's "Grump", if Danny was unavailable), but this format later changed to changed to include the entire ''Game Grumps'' crew, with Danny and Arin sometimes not appearing at all in favor of Barry Kramer, the channel's then-editor, and Suzy Berhow, another [=YouTuber=] and Arin's wife.

''Steam Train'' can be found on the main ''Game Grumps'' channel [[https://www.youtube.com/user/GameGrumps here]].

The format of the show was similar to its parent show, consisting of [[WebVideo/RubberRoss Ross O'Donovan]], a ''Game Grumps'' member also known as an animator through ''Rubber Ninja Animation'', playing games with others and providing humorous commentary. Unlike ''Game Grumps'', however, ''Steam Train'' focused on computer games rather than console games (although the series did eventually include console games for a brief period of time). Ross conceived the show as an excuse for him to play the abundance of games on his Platform/{{Steam}} account[[note]]when the show started, he reportedly had played less than 40 of the over 300 games he owned[[/note]] ([[PunBasedTitle hence the title]]).

Unlike ''Game Grumps'', however, the show focuses on computer games rather than console games. Special episodes called ''Steam Rolled'' focus on four-player PC games, although for a brief period of time the series also included console games. The series went into indefinite hiatus in 2017 due to Ross focusing more on his animation career, and the Game Grumps have since since begun playing PC games.

** ''{{VideoGame/Banished}}'' ends with everyone dying in the first winter, because ''nothing was constructed or produced''. Although, both of the people playing were at least partially drunk.

* TheCameo: Ninja Brian from ''Music/NinjaSexParty'' makes an... um, [[TheVoiceless appearance]] to give Danny and Ross some advice during ''Castle Crashers''. He also appeared with Danny in the lesser-seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRRXwOQVCcs promo for Steam Train]] on Ross' channel.
** LetsPlay/{{Markiplier}} gets called up for advice in episode four of ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys2''.

** They initially gave up when trying to complete their [[KillEmAll Genocide Run]] in ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' because [[spoiler: Sans was too hard for them.]] However, they later [[spoiler: defeated him]] in a livestream.

** Danny and Ross' series on ''VideoGame/TheOregonTrail'' ends abruptly with [[KillEmAll their entire group dying only two episodes in]] [[TooDumbToLive because the two thought that they were getting weak from fatigue instead of hunger, and as a result everyone starved to death]].

* AbsenteeActor: When the format was just Ross and Danny, there were occasional episodes where Danny would be absent, replaced instead with Arin. As of the ''King's Quest VI'' playthrough and the change of format, there have now been playthroughs (''Five Nights at Freddy's'' and ''Monster Loves You'') where Ross is gone, as well. Those episodes were hosted by Arin, Suzy, and Barry.
** This is especially notable given Steam Train's place on the channel. When explained, it was originally pitched as Ross's idea, which was the reason he stayed the consistent host throughout all of its episodes. This obviously no longer holds true. It seems to be now that so long as Arin and Danny aren't the only hosts of an episode, it can be safely called Steam Train.

-->'''[[{{Kitsune}} Machiko]]:''' I know I am [[TheVamp a beautiful, exquisite creature]], but [[RescueRomance pushing me into a river so you can play a hero]] is a bit too much, Taka-kun~!\\

* FiveManBand:
** TheLeader: Ross.
** TheLancer: Originally Danny was but it changed to Arin halfway through year 1.
*** Barry can be considered the lancer of year 2 making the most appearances with Ross.
** TheBigGuy: Danny can be considered this in year 2.
** TheSmartGuy: Arin can be considered this in year 2.
** TheChick: Suzy

* HostileShowTakeover: In one of the intro animations, Arin suddenly appears and kills Danny.

* SuddenlyVoiced: At the end of the ''VideoGame/CounterStrike: Global Offensive'' playthrough, Barry speaks on-camera for the first time in the history of the channel. In subsequent on-screen appearances he has been a fully-voiced member of the cast.

* BrickJoke: When playing ''VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry'', at one point Danny and Ross make a phonecall to a sex line, which allows for madlibs. Ross' responses alternate between Batman References and the completely innocent. A few episodes later, [[spoiler:Batman calls the same line and asks Larry if he and Robin want to go to his house to hang out, watch Film/StarWars and play with his weaponry.]]

** The ''Oregon Trail'' run quickly descends into failure in the second episode due to lack of food, which they do not notice. Danny opts to blame Ross for this instead.

** Part 19 of {{Undertale}} has a huge emotional one from both Ross and Barry at the end when [[spoiler:Asgore is murdered by Flowey in spite of Barry sparing him.]] Needless to say, the [[ClusterFBomb conductors]] [[SayMyName are]] '''''[[UnstoppableRage PISSED]]'''''.

* DemotedToExtra: Danny. Justified because ''Steam Train'' was planned before [[WebVideo/JonTron Jon's]] sudden departure from ''Game Grumps'' and Danny and Ross were supposed to be exclusive to the former show while Arin and Jon continue to host the latter. Because of Danny's heavy workload with ''Game Grumps'' and NinjaSexParty, he does not appear often on ''Steam Train''.
