"I'm late; I'm going to take the next train."

Translation: Je suis en retard, je vais prendre le train suivant.

prochain ?

[WilliamDea348309]

Why not prochain ?

[TonyFromKiwiLand]

Indeed, why not prochain?

[TrishyV]

no comment duo? why not prochain

[arhbaum]

To answer the question of why not "prochain", you can use "prochain" but it must come before the noun. I tried writing "le train prochain" and was marked incorrect, but "le prochain train" was marked correct.

Here is a discussion board where some native French speakers help explain the positioning of prochain: http://www.forum.french-linguistics.co.uk/forum/topics/position-of-prochain

Unless there's a distinction in French duo, there's a difference between "following" and "next".

[IanOsborne2]

Why isn't emmener correct?
