Greater Elysian Railways
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 7/12/23 the railway is unopened and is still under construction.
Locomotive are to be custom made by ZeBoss07 and built at the Novaterran Locomotive and Carriageworks in New Ruhr
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 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.
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.
