Description

This article is a description of the Second Life Railroad ( SLRR ) on the Heterocera Atoll continent.

SLRR

The Second Life Railroad ( SLRR ) runs over more then 60 Regions on the Heterocera Atoll (Northern) Continent. And there are 20 more Regions that have branch lines being extended out from the Main Line.

Second Life residents can operate trains on the SLRR and other railroads, much as anyone can operate a car on the roads in Second Life. Any Resident may use this public facility for any purpose consistent with the Second Life Community Standards/TOS. Along the railway line there are many stations where you can rez a train to start a journey.

Track-laying and maintenance are provided by Michael Linden and the Linden Department of Public works LDPW.

Residents have been using the SLRR since 2005. There are many train builders in SL that make a wide variety of trains using several different methods for locomotion. Thousands of residents have personal trains they use on the SLRR. Using the SLRR with its current standard is simple to understand and accessible to Residents and builders of all skill levels.

Standards for guidance, track and SLRR Switches will enable Residents to develop suitable vehicles. Michael Linden has made the following public statements, summarized here:

• The SLRR track specifications will not change anytime soon.
• Signals will be installed but we will not be punished for example for "running red light signals".
• Switches will be installed connecting the various branch lines to the main line.
• Automated trains will not be put into regular service by the LDPW, if the residents keep using the SLRR with their private trains.
• Residents may choose to run automated trains, consistent with the ToS.
• Residents may make a request to the LDPW to connect their private track on the Atoll to the SLRR track via a switch.

History

The SLRR dates back to 2005, please see SLRR history for a concise history of the SLRR.
