Community Spotlight: Continental Rail Road

The rail line was created by Joyman in 2013. This rail system connects many towns within the Greycliff world in Craftland. Riding the lines can take a pretty long time to get through everything, but for some reason there is some sort of enjoyment in it. On craftland we have many ways to get around easier than minecarts, but riding the line can make one appreciate them and encourage one to make something similar for their own. Due to these being around, some have thought about creating one for the Aether or even Shadow Skylands. But for now we have the one found in Greycliff!

Image


The main point in the rail line is found in a town called "Togcity" also known as Block Nation. The city has its own system within the city but can also navigate people to see places outside the cities area. Some known places people can see are Mooshcity, Arcadia, Mining Co, Wizard City etc.

Image


One amazing thing about this project is that Joyman also makes wiki pages for just about every station and line made with details about construction history, rebuilds, date of creations, what lines connect to it, owner of the town the station stops at, and sometimes even more!

Image



If you wish to see more of these amazing lines and read more about them, follow the guides below.


Wiki:
Grand Central : http://wiki.craftland.org/wiki/Grand_Central

For other pages, Click the links provided within the post, or click the Random Page button on the wiki until for one of the stations to appear.

Known Warps:
North East - Takes you to one of the North East Stations
Postal Facility - Takes you to a station that is also connected to a Postal system that was created.


Anyways, thanks everyone for reading this weeks spotlight. If you have a project or a friend has a project you think should be spotlight. Provide a warp / image / basic information about the project in the comments! But until the next post have a great time!

Message me on the forums with a warp name, if you would like a place to be connected to the railway network.

Please donate rails, stonebricks, and gold ores to the hopper at /warp TheSC. We need many of those in order to build the railroad network in Greycliff.

I have created a page containing the history of the Railway, located at http://wiki.craftland.org/wiki/Continental_Railway" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; . I will later add photos of the system, in addition to a list of lines and stations.

There are many, since the line is fairly long.

To give two examples, the northeastern station is at /warp north east, and a station a bit further west is at /warp fort greycliff.
