There are also a few smaller lines as well as incomplete lines that you can travel on. Most stops should have a stocked minecart dispensers, feel free to take a minecart if you don't have one. | There are also a few smaller lines as well as incomplete lines that you can travel on.

=== The Red Line === | |||
This Line currently Stretches from Mushroom Island, through spawn and ultimately Northlake Village. I has nine stops and intersects with the Blue Line at Central Station. Other notable Stations are [[Spawn|The Spawn]] and Old Ardakazia. The Northern section of this line is very scenic, as the track is elevated above ground (see Image). | This Line currently Stretches from Mushroom Island, through spawn and ultimately Northlake Village.

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 used to be on the server stretching from the mentioned z2515 all the way to z-637 (Northlake Village), which amounts to 3152 Blocks. | 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 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. Close to spawn this line runs mostly underground at around y57, but newer additions, further from spawn, have varying heights from y35 to y79. In the underground sections there is often little to see except for the occasional underwater glass tunnel or short looks at large cave systems. Meanwhile the new overground sections to the West allow for a scenic view of mostly untouched landscapes. This line intersects with the Red Line at Central Station and with the ''Copper Line ( a series of Ghost Stations )'' at the recently completed Kasuto Rail Junction | 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.

The West-most point of the line is currently Journeys End at x-2477 and the East-most point is the Kasuto Junction at x1267, which equates to 3744 blocks of track. Due to the recent expansion a few stations further from spawn don't have much development near them, you are free to settle and build near these stations. | The West-most point of the line is currently Journeys End at x-2477 and the East-most point is the Kasuto Junction at x1267, which equates to 3744 blocks of track.

When arriving at Kasuto junction | When arriving at Kasuto junction (Blue Line) it is immediately clear that the track continues northward. If you continue on this track you come across multiple incomplete Ghost Stations. At Mooshroom Island (Red Line), the south most station any visitor can see that the track still continues southward. Will you take the journey and find out how far it goes? | ||

== | === Mooshroom Line === | ||
The | The first line that was finished after Red and Blue Lines is the '''Mooshroom Line''', the track was built by [[LeGrey]] and the stations were completed by [[Starstriker1012|Starstriker]]. This Line connects the south-most Red Line station, Mooshroom Island, to the towns and warps of [[Shaftville]] and [[Warrington]]. The Shaftville station includes a lounge for travellers. | ||

=== Great Chinese Railway === | |||
The longest straight line without a stop is the '''Great Chinese Railway''' built by Milkydragon69 and GingM8. It stretches over 5000 Blocks and takes over ten minutes to ride, the southern stretches can also be dangerous at night but with innovative cactus technology the builders hope to ward off hostile mobs. Currently the track is not safe for villager or other mob transport, as the tunnel is mostly 2 blocks tall, GingM8 has spoken about needing to raise the height to three blocks. | |||

=== Intergalactic Express === | |||
This is the most recently completed route. It diagonally connects Snorp to the far away [[Outcast]] and [[Goldenzapka1|Goldenzapkas']] Village and stretches over 5200 blocks diagonally, which equates to about 10000 blocks of rail. Since diagonal rail travels at speeds up to 16 blocks per second travelling the whole line should only take slightly longer than travelling the Great Chinese Railway. This railway also has a stop at the End Portal warp, connecting it to the rest of the network through Snorp. | |||
