Description

This article is about the Second Life group Virtual Railway Consortium. We focus on rail and other transportation in Second Life and collaborate with other groups with similar interests.
We focus on the Second Life Railroad ( SLRR ) on the Heterocera Atoll continent but are also interested in other railways and transportation facilities.

This page is maintained by members of the VRC. You can use the Talk page if you want to get in contact with them.

Our motto "State no issue without solution"

We aim to enhance enjoyment of Second Life rail by extending track, improving traffic flow on shared rights-of-way, and facilitating rail experiences for residents. Projects include, among others:

  • Promoting rail-related events;
  • Documentation of rail in Second Life rail technology;
  • Documentation of the SLRR History as compiled by the VRC;
  • Mapping the SLRR and stations along its Right Of Way;
  • Close cooperation with Linden LabTM;
  • Sharing ideas and solutions with the Linden Department of Public Works and Residents in general;
  • Making open source information, scripts, and objects available to all SL Residents, and;
  • Integrating rail with other modes of transportation.

For this we use and collect all publicly available information on subjects that relate to our group from internet sources, wiki pages, in-world of Second Life, SL Residents, etc. We post them so the greatest number of SL Residents can learn about them. For this we use Wiki pages as well as our own website http://www.virtualrailwayconsortium.org and our in-world group VRC. You may become a member of the VRC by sending an IM to Stryker Jenkins or any of the group officers.

There are other Rail related groups in Second Life (see References for a short list).
