Surfside Rail System

Surfside has a rapidly growing network of railways which accommodate a wide variety of trains. The first tracks were laid as early as 2014. The Railways in and around Surfside are built and owned by SurfRail.

History
The first station to be built was Ruskford in 2014. This station was built at the eastern end of the line, while the western end (now occupied by Surfside Central) was a rudimentary station with no pedestrian access.

The track connecting the two stations was originally 6 blocks wide.

Track Gauge
The first railway in the city was a wide gauge. The distance between rails was 4 blocks (Six in total). The Department for Transport decided that a new gauge was needed as the types of trains built for the wide gauge were deemed inefficient.

The standard gauge now in use is 3 blocks wide. All existing wide gauge railways are being rebuilt to standard gauge.

The Railway Network
Once complete, there will be 9 railway lines connecting Surfside to neighbouring cities and suburbs such as Nightland, Hue and Lindum. Of the 9 lines, 2 will be exclusively for high speed trains.

Stations
There are only two operational stations on the network; Surfside Central and Ruskford.

Other stations are being built. These include: Lindum Street, University and Eastminster.

Future stations include: Nightland, Hue and Lindum.

Train Types
The trains running on Surfside's rail network are categorised into nine different classes known as Series. Each Series contains different types such as Freight, Metro, Commuter and High Speed. For a complete list of all Surfside trains, click here.

Each class of train is numbered in multiples of 10 (200, 210, 220 etc...), whereas each individual unit is numbered between 0-99 (200 001, 200 002, 200 003 etc...)
