Overview
The first public piston bolt in Freedonia, its first rail connects Georgetown to the FRS Oriental Line. It is recommended that the server tickrate be above 10.00 for semi-optimal speed. The actual network is to be a series of raised guideways at y=200.
History
George_Mann had always wanted to construct a piston bolt network on MCO, but the Nexus Requirements was what motivated him to start construction on it. Since piston bolts cannot go up y levels, George_Mann decided to dig a tunnel to FRS Oriental Line at y=23 so that he didn't have to circle around builds, go over mountains, etc. With a generous donation of iron blocks from Darkerfly, he started digging the tunnel and laying the tracks for this project.
After a final infusion of iron from Darkerfly and a large trade of redstone blocks from 
Aziroeth, the first line is completed.
Notice Before Riding/Rules
'"the sound is a thing straight from hell" - 
TheDemetri
The piston bolt at top speed is loud for players with sound on.
There is also no exits to the tunnel, if players disembark mid-ride, they will either have to run to the other end of the bolt or warp out of the tunnel.
The current iteration of the Heruvian Hyper Rail restricts usage to minecarts with players or mobs riding them. The bolt will fail to transport any other type of minecart and will also fail if the player disembarks mid-ride.
If a server restart notice is issued and the minecart is beyond x= -1300 (At >15 tps), the minecart is not likely to reach its destination before the server closes. However, it is recommended that players refrain from using the bolt if a server restart is imminent or obvious.
If any of the rails are broken, a grief report will be submitted. If any of the pistons, repeaters, or other blocks are displaced or modified, please notify George_Mann as soon as possible.
Rules:
- DO NOT wield a pickaxe water bucket, or anything that can break rails with ease while in the tunnel (having an empty hand is highly preferred).
- DO NOT attempt to repair any damage to the bolt, accidental or not.
- DO NOT attempt to disembark the minecart while riding.
- DO NOT board or start the bolt if a server restart is to occur within the next 5 minutes.
- DO NOT launch a minecart until all of the pistons have retracted.
- DO NOT launch the minecart without a player riding it.
- In the unlikely case that the minecart must be broken, do so ONLY using an empty hand, or sword.
