It is able to travel to different times when a Rider Pass, along with a Rider Ticket that contains the date in which an Imagin has traveled to, is inserted into the Den-Bird, while docked in the DenLiner. The date then becomes DenLiner's new destination in time. The DenLiner has multiple forms, split throughout eight cars. When not using a certain form, DenLiner's eight cars are linked up, forming one large train.
These railroad cars only disconnect and change form when Den-O is in the corresponding form. Form-specific cars can also link up with other cars in various orders to provide additional weaponry when fighting Gigandeaths. Furthermore, the DenLiner can link up with the ZeroLiner for more power. When Den-O enters Climax Form, DenLiner is affected by the power surge and enters Climax Mode, turning a golden color with an intense fiery aura around it.
The Den-Liner also has various non-combative cars that separate from the Gouka during battle and serve as settings for the television series and movies. These include the dining car where most of the series takes place, a bath car used several times late in the series, and the sleeping car where the group meets the Swan Imagin Sieg. The Den-Liner docks are at the King Station which is also the actual KingLiner.
History
The World of the Rider War
In the Rider War, DenLiner attacked Decade alongside ZeroLiner only to be quickly destroyed. They were presumably restored after the destruction (and subsequent revival) of Decade ended the Rider War and the worlds were restored.
World within the Magic Stone
During the 14 Heisei Kamen Riders' battle against Amadum's monsters in the World within the Magic Stone, when various giant and flying monsters appeared, Momotaros as Den-O boarded the DenLiner, fighting alongside the other Riders pulling off their various tricks and attacking the Mega Greeed.
Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider : Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai
The DenLiner was attacked by a Kuliner which was sent by the Shadow Line's representative, General Schwarz to aid the Badan Empire in its ambitions. Later, it helped the ToQgers in its mecha fight forming ToQ-Oh Kyoryuzin feat. DenLiner.
Forms of DenLiner
DenLiner Gouka
DenLiner Gouka is based on the legend of Momotarō (the legend from whom Momotaros is based and is activated when Den-O is in Sword Form). This train is composed of cars one through four, each with a unique attack that relates to a component of the legend. When attacking, the train turns sideways and each of the four compartments open up, each revealing a weapon.
- The first car is the GouCannon. It represents Momotarō himself and is able to fire lasers.
- The second car is the Doggy Launcher. It represents the dog Momotarō befriends and is able to fire rockets named Doggy Bark.
- The third car is the Monkey Bomber. It represents the monkey Momotarō met and is able to launch bombs named Monkey Bomb.
- The fourth car containts the Birdie Missile that represents the pheasant that Momotarō met. It is a miniature bird with blade-like wings.
DenLiner Isurugi is a turtle-style train that is activated when Den-O is in Rod Form. Composed of car five, the back of the car is able to open to release a turtle-like machine named Radome that Den-O uses as a hovercraft to travel on water. Isurugi is also able to fire lasers from its front. Isurugi can also combine with Gouka, but instead of staying in the back, it attaches to the front. In addition to Gouka's usual weaponry, Radome sits on top Isurugi, extending two blade-like lasers when attacking, chopping a Gigandeath in half.
DenLiner Rekkou
DenLiner Rekkou is an ax-style train that is activated when Den-O is in Ax Form. Composed of car six, five axes called the Side Ax appear from each side of the train along with one large ax called the Front Ax on the head. Rekkou is a primarily close range offensive train. The five axes on the sides can strike through the Gigandeath with the whole train facing upward, chopping through the enemy multiple times, or hold the monster at bay to deliver a piledriver attack.
Its most effective attack is when Rekkou's large ax on the front expands in length and Rekkou passes under the Gigandeath at full speed, slicing the target in half. It is also able to combine with Gouka, attaching to the front, which allows their weaponry to be combined. When combined with Ikazuchi, its axes on the side can create crescent waves shot at the Gigandeath.
DenLiner Ikazuchi
DenLiner Ikazuchi is a dragon-style train that is activated when Den-O is in Gun Form. Composed of cars seven and eight, the upper half is able to open up to reveal a dragon head while the rear half is able to reveal a dragon tail. The dragon's head is able to launch energy blasts and bite into Gigandeaths to fling them away. It is able to combine with all the other trains, forming a new DenLiner that contains eight cars, all in their respective forms. Ikazuchi's first car with the dragon head is in front, followed by Rekkou, Isurugi, Gouka.
The end is the second part of the Ikazuchi, with the dragon tail (the Kanji names of these cars spell out "Lightning Speed". Unlike other formations, Den-O stays atop of the dragon head with the Machine DenBird when fighting (in other formations, Den-O operates from within Gouka), performing a conjunction attack with a variation of his Wild Shot and a powerful bursting stream of energy from Ikazuchi's cannon.

Den-O Ressha
Den-O Ressha is a variation of the Den-Liner that utilizes the power of the 38th Super Sentai team Ressha Sentai ToQgerIcon-crosswiki. Combined with the power of the Kyoryuger Ressha and the ToQger's mecha ToQ-Oh, they can combine to become ToQ-Oh Kyoryuzin feat. DenLiner as they form the feet/boots for ToQ-Oh. Prior to this creation, DenLiner Ressha replaces Red Ressha to form ToQ-Oh Den-O. However, Kyoryu Red proclaims that he's doing it wrong and literally knocks Den-O Ressha off the position.
Momotaros uses the callsign "Ore Gattai" (lit. "I have Combined") for this form and the finishing attack is the "Fumikiriken Brave Sanjou Slash", the other Liners racing in in a spiral formation and firing as ToQ-Oh Kyoryuzin feat. DenLiner races in and slashes.
Info:
- Episode 16 of Hayate the Combat Butler features cameo appearances by several characters and elements from Kamen Rider Den-O on a train very similar to the DenLiner Gouka.
- It is the first Rider mecha to actually combine with a Sentai mecha.
- Despite being the first Rider mecha to actually combine with a Sentai mecha, the DenLiner "boots" still remain CGI.
- In early designs, the DenLiner is shown to have Momotaros' and Urataros' faces forming on the front of the DenLiner Gouka.
