<div style="padding:0.5em">
Second Life Railroad ( [[Acronyms|SLRR]] ) runs over more then 60 sims on the Heterocera Atoll (Northern) Continent.
Anyone with a vehicle designed to run on the SLRR tracks can use this public facility. Along the railway line there are many [[#SLRR Stations|stations]] where you can rez a train to start a journey.


The track-building and maintenance are provided by the Linden Department of Public works [[LDPW]].

Other rail networks may use different standards. Their owners are encouraged to make their standards public if these networks allow the public use them with their own rolling stock.


Standards have been established in-world as well as on these wiki pages. And residents have been using the SLRR for years. There are many train builders in SL that make a wide variety of trains using several different methods for locomotion. The current SLRR track standards support all types of trains. Already many 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.
