1. The Demon Train is a Boss in Spirit Tracks. It is a massive, semi-sentient locomotive used by Chancellor Cole and Malladus.
2. Before Spirit Tracks Malladus is mentioned in the prologue of The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks as the Demon King. When he was sealed into the ground by a set of railroad tracks known as the Spirit Tracks by the spirits of the land, he waited for his chance to be free again.
3. The Demon Train is a boss from The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. It is a massive, semi-sentient locomotive fought in the Dark Realm, directly before the final fights with Chancellor Cole and Malladus.
4. The villains (or demons) of Spirit track. First at the bottom we have kinda boring design of malladus spirit, which basically is a blue head. Above that we have Malladus in Zelda's dead cold body. Then there's the Ganon train as I call it (ganon is not mentioned in the game), who is an evil train, called the demon train.

For one, Spirit Tracks has players piloting a special, cannon-equipped train throughout the overworld rather than the steamboat from the previous game. Personally, I enjoyed the mechanics of the.

Examples of railways in fiction include:
