Railroad Locations

Find the Old North Church to Join the Railroad

Fallout 4 - Railroad Location

You can join the Railroad in the Old North Church in The North End district. Make sure to have the Road to Freedom faction quest active so you can progress it as you navigate the church.

How to Start the Road to Freedom

Fallout 4 - Join the Railroad Holotape

There are multiple ways to get the Road to Freedom faction quest. You can get it as early as Act 1 when you reach Diamond City and Goodneighbor by talking to Piper and other survivors, or by playing the Join the Railroad Holotape, which you can find in several locations such as Hotel Rexford or at KL-E-0's store.

You'll also be forced to do this quest in Act 2, where Dr. Amari advises you to consult the Railroad to analyze the Courser Chip in The Molecular Level. This method locks you out of the entire faction if you don't ask them for help to build the Signal Interceptor.

The Railroad HQ

Fallout 4 - Railroad HQ

As you progress through Road to Freedom, you'll gain access to the Railroad HQ. You can come here anytime to do more of their quests.
