The Great Railway Network: Difference between revisions

The further South you go on the Red Line, you can see that you are leaving civilisation further and further behind: The side of the track becomes littered with holes, either from caves or desperate miners digging for resources, you pass more and more Ghost Stations, where the minecart doesn't stop and even after arriving at your station, you will have to walk further until you find settlements. The Mushroom Island Station at z2515 is the furthest that finished and active railways will take you from Spawn. The distance to spawn is outlined by the unusual landscape and sparse settlement. This line is also currently the longest on the server stretching from the mentioned z2515 all the way to z-637 (Northlake Village), which amounts to 3152 Blocks.

The Blue Line consists of the main Light Blue Line, that Services all stations in an (approximate) line from West to East and the Dark Blue Line that currently skips a station in favour of a more scenic route. As this line runs mostly underground at around y57, there is little to see except the occasional underwater glass tunnel or large cave systems like the Dripstone Cave the Dark Blue Line travels through. This line intersects with the Red Line at Central Station and with the ''Copper Line ( a series of Ghost Stations )'' at the incomplete Kasuto Rail Junction

The West-most point of the line is currently Lond Daer ([[Hobbiton]]) at x-962 and the East-most point is the East Sea Lighthouse at x923, which equates to 1885 blocks of track. Because this line is shorter than the Red Line, you don’t have the same feeling of leaving civilisation behind at the outmost stations, instead you are greeted by cosy towns like Hobbiton or monuments like the East Sea Lighthouse.  

When arriving at the East Sea Lighthouse it is immediately visible that the track continues and is only blocked off by a sign warning you of ongoing construction. If you continue anyway you come across the Kasuto Rail Junction still being built. When done this Junction would link up the Blue Line with the incomplete ''Copper Line''.

Apart from the unfinished Copper Line there way more Ghost Stations. Many of the known stations are stations that either Red or Blue lines do not stop at and that you can see on your journey between stops. Other than these there are believed to be an ''unknown number'' of stations in different states of disrepair just waiting to be discovered.

As stated in the beginning, players are always welcome to expand upon the existing rail infrastructure. There are rumoured to be plans to finish the Copper Line and fully integrate it into the Railway System. With the renovation of two of the Western Blue Line stations, an expansion of the Railway starting at Lond Daer ([[Hobbiton]]) is likely.
