I've been thinking, the central transit besides walking or flying, is well, mine cart. But I've had problems, often not knowing what direction I'm going in, and getting lost in Equestria, especially being new to Colonizations. So, I've came up with the idea of, let say "upgrade" the railroad system with a more efficient way of transportation around Equestria. I would first of all, build tunnels and link all known towns of Equestria. I would then, map out train systems, and put signs at certain intersections of the directions, or destinations you were going in. This would make traveling and trading between important locations very easier and quicker.

 

Of course, I need supplies, and more importantly, volunteers. If at some point I become rich on the world, I could even pay the workers who helped me create tunnels and build tracks. This project will not be easy, and will require either donations, or me just buying iron and such to make tools.

 

This project will probably take a long time, and will use up a lot of materials. But, at the end of the day, it is for connecting the world of Equestria to a maximum!

 

All of those who would like to help may post in this topic, or could just ask when I'm online. Remember, I'm doing this only for my convenience, but for everybody else.

There already is a system in place for this in a few towns, used to be headed up by Speedrunner. It's current state and what the station-names were called, I don't know.

Thats my point. We should connect all towns and name all stations for easy guidance

Not all towns wish to be connected, you might want to consult town mayors before mining tunnels towards them

Of course. This will all be through whoever wants it or not, and I am not forcing it to towns who do not want it

You could also work based off of geographical locations so areas would have relative but not direct access, leaving their areas untouched.

That is a good idea so it would not annoy the towns about having a new train station

I think you should just expand on the current railway if you want to connect towns...  There are a few towns that are not connected to the main rail way system that need workers to finish the tunnels and laying track.

As long as they are okay with it, I shall. At the moment, my city is doing as much as collecting materials and pin pointing locations to where The Crystal Empire should be connected since it is not. After it is connected, I shall focus on other towns

make sure you confirm with axonn first.

Some of us might have already planned areas for the station, and what speed did was make straight lines, no curves, no diagonals. So corners are the basis, diagonals waste precious rails.

 

I am planning to get a train station in my town, but my town isn't even official yet.

I'll make sure everything goes fine. Axonn seems to agree and is planning a station within the Crystal Empire itself, along with helping rail production. Also, your unofficial town. If you want, I'll put it on a list I'm going to make of all the towns that want to be connected if not yet already. Just tell me when it becomes official.

Speed's original plan was to make a connection to all of the official towns for the mayors wanted it. Defining Official Town is easy now that there is the Residential Directory. Maybe when he is online you could request to continue his tunnels? It would make it easier for the miners as well as a chance to connect to new official towns.

the wonder of the amazing railway system just made me want to work a lot on it.

From pegasopolis to Trotterdam and from the Crystal city to Neighico, the railway can safely and fast travel you to your destination.

the tunnel to Pegasopolis and Jungle hallow is now dug and a single track have been put down.
the Crystal city have been connected to the main railway to the west of Amethyst station.
Trotterdam have got a usable railway it is a small tunnel but it's fully lite so should be safe, just north of Argiaren cross road.

 

so the city connected to the railway would be:
Pegasopolis
Jungle Hallow
Farenehl
Urisheim
Crystal City
Amethyst
Dirt ville

Trotterdam
Argiaren
Neighico

Unicornia and Hill Valley have also tunnel leading to them from the railway but no rail have been put down.

Um, wow. I have not been paying attention to the work because of making a new town, but wow. I guess pretty much most cities and towns are connected. Thank you guys for the support and effort

most of the tunnels still need to be furnished, with the log and plank lining, the tunnel between Farenehl and Urisheim should give you an example of what i mean.

when i get the right tool and material i would gladly work further on the railway but it has cost extensive amount of my personal stock and a lot of iron and gold from the crystal city.
 

But it is a very nice project.

Actually, our tunnel is far from finished, I also am not fond of the sand underground..

Why wasn't I told people were doing things with our tunnel?

well i am very sorry about it Dinges, Speedrunner told me i could work as much as i liked on the railway, I do travel a lot to Trotterdam so i then just liked a line so i and other could do so, Hxfthxft did also mention i should properly speak to you, i just replied i worked on the speedrunnner railway and he seemed then okay with it all and i just worked on. I would gladly help correct the miss communication error, and create the railway of your liking.

Well, it is good there's a ''makeshift'' railway, so we are connected, Errors can always be corrected.

It's just that it takes such a long time to mine out the tunnel. That's also the reason why we haven't worked much on it lately.

You know, bein' all busy with 20.000 other projects ... that take really long...


Just next time you construct something to do with us, or near us,
Gimme a call :)
