Connecting Towns/Citys Via Rails

[Squishyface00]

I'm considering creating a train station, where from any town you can take a mine cart to and from any town/City.
This would create Travelling a lot easier and save precious time due to the night. I've recently connected Port_Dastar to Elysium, And was hoping to start joining other towns. For this we would need co-operation from both sides for the digging of the 2x2 or 3 tunnel that will be dug. These tunnels will be on the 12th floor so there is a Excellent chance of finding diamonds while digging. My main point of doing this is, The travel from your towns to spawn to sell diamonds or to buy from the spawn shop.

Haven is already working in conjunction with several other cities to build our own private rail systems to and from each city in order to expedite commerce.

I think that this would be a nice idea. My town is connected to Arcata by subway, and I am trying to make a train slightly in the sky, the SkyRail.

If you can, would you try to connect the train to Solaria? I haven't checked your town/city's spot on the map yet.

My town is located south of shroomville island.

the SkyRail.

That reminds me of the skybridges that were on the server a while back.
Those things were ugly.

Just because a certain pyro didn't work fast enough doesn't mean it can't exist.

Was just about to point out that this is the same thing.

The point of this was so it would act as a middlepoint between multiple cities which is a bit harder to define when the cities spread out so thinly.

not gonna lie, we have a ton of rails we can contribute to the project

Rail grief is a big obstacle in this type of network, I'm afraid. I just wish that rails could be protected without expanding a town's borders. That would make things so much simpler.

obsidian tunnels for rails? xD

 

[Tsysin]

no, you only connect to cities where you can fully trust each other...sad but true...

Alls' it takes is one open tunnel/doorway etc for an asshat to ride the rails and grief everything in site.

Note: This can also happen by pure dumb luck if 'said' asshat accidentally tunnels into one of your mineshafts.

So, back in 1.8 I made a little walkway (stone brick of course) from my tower to Mooville and an npc village. That got me thinking - what if you use that kind of walkway as an emergency path? Here's a quick design I made up of a segment of such a walkway, above 2 one-way tracks:
