Been playing Final Fantasy VI again because of having more free time on my hands and I haven't played it in years.
HOW THE HELL DID I BEAT THE PHANTOM TRAIN BEFORE?!
My version on this play through as my characters all have strange names like Mash instead of Sabin, but I can't see that as a reason as to why he totally trashes me. I still have Shadow in my party and I don't feel particularly under-levelled. I'm around 75% sure I can finish him with a Pheonix Down but this always feels dirty to me.
Is there something I should know about? Or am I just going to have to level up?

The Phantom Train's weakness is Fire, Lightning, and Pearl (any cure-type attack).
If you reeeeeallly don't want to use a Phoenix Down (which kills him in one shot), just have Sabin use Aurabolt, Shadow throw Shurikens, and Cyan perform his third Swordtech skill, which may be Slash or Dispatch. He'll go down eventually.
You can also use potions to chip away at his HP if any of your party gets imped.
