General

The Mistralia Railway is a rail network connecting the different ends of Mistral Valley together. No stations are currently completed but many of them are accessible and can be used as normal train stations. In future the tunnels and the railways will be decorated too, as the subway is just as much a build project as it is a transport project.

History

Era 1

The Mistralia Railway began as a passion project by  CaptainIceman. It was initially started as a way to connect together Mistral Valley, which was becoming larger over time. Originally, there was only one line, which connected to the Occidental Line on the Freedonia Railway System. This line ran underground through Mistral Valley, with a rail bridge over the centre of the city, which can still be seen today, above Mistral Valley's littlest skyscraper. Work on this railway slowed to a halt, as the advancement of the rest of the city took place.

Era 2

In late 2023,  FudgeMonster28 joined Mistral Valley as a resident and also as a neighbour in nearby Floatsam. Seeing the already existing rail route, he enquired further onto the progress of the line. He soon found that the bridge had become somewhat of an obstruction to the other builds in Little Riga, causing FudgeMonster to be inspired to help design and build a new rail network for the area, with  CaptainIceman's permisson, of course.

In May 2024 a station between Mistral City and Centrala on the Capulet Line was removed. This station was called "The Burrow" and was built into the side of a hill near Embassy Street. It was removed for three reasons:

1. It was far too close to The Hills station, which was actually within render distance of The Burrow.
2. It did not serve any residents or local attractions. Of course, there would be the observatory, but that would be too high to be served by a full transit line. Even though it was close to Embassy Street, it was too far from it to really help the diplomats in the area.
3. It acted as a detour for trains travelling to Mistral City from Centrala. This added a major twenty to thirty seconds to the route, and was a great impedence to those making a fast journey from the docks to the city centre.

Currently, destruction of the old line from Era 1 has not occurred except removal of rails. One of the stations has been converted for Era 2, to become the Omoshiroi Station.

Era 3

Era 3 is being planned currently. The old rail bridge of Era 1 will be redeveloped as a footbridge, but Captain Iceman has wished to merge the old line with the Era 2 network. FudgeMonster is trying to plan this out, but suspects the creation of new lines, removing Era 2's hub and spokes model for a point-to-point model instead.
