More details on IMDB and Wikipedia 

Resident Evil is the zombie franchise that does it right. Split in two major continuities: a) films starring Milla Jovovich and b) the canon video game continuity. Resident Evil: Vendetta (2017) is an adult animated movie that adds to the video game storytelling.

The bad guy has develop A-Virus which is turning people into a zombie variety that can tell the difference between friend and foe. He plans to sell his product in the black market and the good guys we know from video games must stop him.

The action takes place from a mansion, to a lab, then a cabin in the woods,  into the streets of NY City, entering a building with narrow hallways full of zombies and ending up the roof for the final boss fight. It is the exact scenery we expect to see in a Resident Evil animated movie. No trains but helicopters are included.
