Goals
SX had idea about learning how to use advtrains properly while connecting all significant old railways together to form larger personal playground public network and started working on it as a personal project.
Connect existing railways to larger public network fixing broken rails, routes, stations and protections while getting towards ultimate goal.
Main railways should be protected with protect_streets privilege in the end. Protecting station areas using this privilege should also be considered.

Stations
Minigames Hub, this is where it started and was central hub for first test train lines while getting familiar with advtrains mod.
Little Siberia, this was first connection from Minigames Hub.
Forbidden City / Tagada Road, new railway was built to connect Minigames.
Japan Town, rails were already built by 6r1d, int and various other players. Replaced misplaced protection blocks with privilege protectors.
Space Elevator, waypoint while building railway connection towards New Town and Starter Town where older and more complete public railway networks can be found.
Train Schedules
What? Trains say beep beep and go, if it left already then you're late.
Routing codes
Common routing codes for trains, these should not be used for other purposes without good reason and taking into account that many trains in public railway network might have these routing codes.
| Code | Focus | Description |
|---|---|---|
| S | Stations, restrictions | S trains should stop at all stations. S trains should never be allowed to leave town area or cross city borders. |
| R | Stations | R trains should stop at all stations. |
| IC | Common routing | Pass small stations, if possible routed through fastest route through city and only stop at large main railway stations. |
| SB | Stations | Train can directly return to approach direction from dead end station without turning train around in shunting area or dedicated loop. |
