We have arrived at Yonkey Isle! This TRAIN is stopping here for the weekend while the tunnel is repaired (due to a certain seahorse).

A light from the shadows shall spring
Renewed shall be blade that was broken
The crownless again shall be king

I saw a train the other day with about fifty cars. :) Couldn't count them as there was too much stuff in the way.  :(

Good news! The tunnel has been repaired, so the TRAIN can depart again! Where should we go before Yonkey notices?

But where is here? Do we go by train to Amsterdam, Rotterdam Den Haag or maybe Utrecht? You can go almost anywhere by train here in Holland.

I think there is an Amtrak route between Grand Rapids and Chicago but that's about it. :P Trains are not used that much in the US, at least not for people.

EDIT: When I say US I mean the Midwest US, which is the only part I am very familiar with. The East Coast or California might be a whole different kettle of fish. 

icarus

thats treu. In the US you hardly find any trains. Only metro/subway. If I move there I have lots of work to do by creating a railroad network to conect all the cities/states.

Alas that's the problem icarus, civilization is built up in such a way in my home state of NJ there's no room to put in a decent system where you can take the train everywhere you wanna go. There's about 6 different lines here and they don't all connect so generally I find it impossible to use it to get where they go. And some places you can't get to by train at ALL. I do however always use the train to get to NYC and the subway there to get all around.

they could always make the railroad underground in the city and outside the sity above the ground. The trouble is the enourmous cost to drill holes/tunnels for the train.

WOW, I can just imagine the cost to put the train in the entire state underground. I don't live in a city and generally wouldn't use the TRAIN here to go to cities. There's towns I'd like to be able to get to by TRAIN, but can't.
