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 builds available to all SL Residents, and;
  • Integrating rail with other modes of transportation.

For this we collect and present all publicly available information on subjects that relate to our group from internet sources, wiki pages, in-world Second Life, SL Residents, and more. We post them so the greatest number of SL Residents can learn about and benefit from them. For this we use Wiki pages as well as our in-world group VRC.
