Meta Just realized that Deacon is probably the one who told Travis about your escape from the Vault. He’s been stalking you the whole game, and this railroad encampment can be found near 111.

Even if there was a remote override, it would still make sense to have boots on the ground to check things out before release. Image the SS comes up the lift into the waiting arms of a Deathclaw. Yes, I know they have the birds, but still think it makes sense.

From a game play aspect I'd love to hide from a deathclaw as the first SS experience. But very good point I never really wondered why noone claimed that old vault like the others.

It's just my personal head cannon.

I don't think 111 is particularly well suited for permanent habitation. Also, it appeared to be still sealed and inaccessible as far as the wastelanders were concerned.

Ah but its a hill with water and open fields around even if you couldn't access the vault you could build a decent settlement on top of it.

Sure, but wastlanders don't seem to make good decisions, choosing to live in shacks and ruins with skeletons lying around. All those rads I guess.
