GER utilises a so called “Small Engine Policy”; That is, the GER understands that trains will be short and thus light, and therefore only uses smaller 3 axle engines (with one exception), as opposed to larger 4 or 5 axle locomotives such as those used by ARC. Locomotives are based off Ramsbottom and Webb era LNWR stock, acquiring the same names of the real life locomotive classes.

Greater Elysian Railways is a rail network reaching from Seananville in the west to Novaterra in the east, with stations at Spawn, Femboylandia, Farlandia, Vasti, and others.

The railway is Immersive Railroading standard gauge (1.435m) with a loading gauge of 3m by 5m.

As of 13/7/24 the railway is unopened and is still under construction.

The railway is planned to be automated with augments and OpenComputers software, and will provide a fast, automated and free service to travel to most places on Elysia.

GER was originally planned to open in December 2023/January 2024. However the breakout of the Aevumite-Novaterra War stalled construction of Critical infrastructure and the opening was delayed.

It was then later discovered that the automation script required could not effectively restart after a server reboot (which occur every 4 hours to prevent lag). This is a major issue as it rendered automation infeasible until resolved. An update to solve this is currently in the works.

Initial automation will begin after the 1.4.2 update is released, and after the vital engineering works along the network are complete. These are:

  • Construction of biodiesel fuelling stations at New Amsterdam, Viridis Junction, And Westportia / New Melbourne
  • Addition of 6 new tracks at seananville
  • Complete remodeling of New Amsterdam Station
  • Complete remodeling of Viridis Junction Station
  • Construction of Westportia / New Melbourne Station

Locomotives and coaches are built at the Patrium Locomotive and Carriageworks in Patrium, with some being outsourced to other builders. Whilst GER has numerous steam train designs, they have been retired in favour of diesel locomotives, and when added, electrics.
