NOTE: THIS RAILWAY IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. THE ARTICLE MIGHT BE OUT OF DATE FOR SMALL PERIODS OF TIME.
rapidER is the newest multisim railway (as far as July 2014). It is located in North - East of Sansara, in East River Community.
History
The need for railways in Sansara is very old, probably since the beginning of this continent. Just like the other attempts in other parts of the continent (GSLR in North West, ONSR in South West and SJRR in South East), a rail initiative was needed in the North East. The railway was built July 2014 by initiative of Elisha Paklena, one of the founders of the community. As of August 2014 the railway is still under development.
Railway map
rapidER has two branches: the 'green' line and the 'blue' line. The green line connects the East River Intercontinental Airport and the nearby East River Burroughs area to the East River Municipal Airport, while the blue line connects Mowry Village to the rest of the community. The project seems to have changed and in July 30th 2014 the blue line could not be found, while the green line is being re-built. second Life Geography team found also other rail sectors where no railway should exist (a possible third line?). Time is needed for the builders to finish their work.
In August 14th 2014, both lines were functional and trains were moving according to schedule.
Railway structure
Parts of the railway are doubled, but the largest part is simple. Railway is made with 3 different types of tracks. some of them are sharper then those found on classic Heterocera railways, with stronger rails and wooden slippers, looking similar with the tracks found on Second Norway Railway. Other parts of the rail network are made of steel, with a modern design. The third type, is invisible.
The green line does not use Guide like the rails in Heterocera. So, an opensource train will not be able to use it. However, parts of the rail network, found in mid July, were using the classic Guide, including a sector of invisible rail around an island.
There are tunnels that allow trains to bypass some parcels. An interesting tunnel is found in region Macclaine. It is a fake tunnel where the train teleports to pass over a parcel of protected land.
Traffic
The trains working on this railway are modern, very fast and use the same type of trains used by Second Norway Railway. Because the railway is under construction, train schedule might suffer important changes. Most probably, in the end, there will be an automated service along all lines.
As proven in past, transportation ways have a boost effect on local economy. It is proven that in Color Sims places with access to GSLR are the most visited and in Snowlands Subcontinent the ONSR stopped land from being depopulated. Even the tiny SJRR had a strong influence in the area it transits. It is expected that this new railway will have a strong positive impact on East River Community and surrounding areas.
