CitiRail is a Rail Corporation focused on providing infrastructure and stations for commuter and long-distance lines in the western part of the server, centered around Whitechapel. Unlike other metro providers, CitiRail focuses only on city to city service, with no stops. Players choose their destination upon arriving at a station and will be directly taken to that destination station with no changeovers, delays, or stops. This is accomplished with a ticket system that directs carts at junctions and stations.
Citirail will be adopting a industry-wide standard to promote third-party connections utilizing the TrainCarts plugin, and will be converting the entire system. TC conversions of current stations and junctions are expected to be completed by January 31, 2024.
Instructions - To be Updated Soon
In legacy systems, Each station has two platforms, one for each direction. The platforms contain two chests, displayed in the center of the platform. The indicated large chest on the right contains tickets with the names of all stations serviced in that direction, in alphabetical order. The player removes the ticket named with their desired destination (the chest is automatically refilled) and places it in the indicated left chest. Once a ticket has been placed in the chest, a cart will appear on the left side of the platform and slowly move right. The player boards this cart and will automatically be taken directly to their destination.
History
CitiRail was founded by _frozen on December 31, 2013. It was constructed using a technology, which was codenamed Phoenix while in development, though this version was never opened. In January 2015, CitiRail was selected to be the Rail Technology Provider for the EASTRail system in the EAST Metropolitian Planning Organization. On November 12, 2015, Pacifica Rail was spun off CitiRail, becoming its own rail company providing line services.
During _frozen's inactivity period between 2017 and 2023, the corporation was owned by _Kastle, With help from Earack, the system has been renovated with new technology and unfinished lines have been completed, which allowed CitiRail to finally open, almost five years after its inception. Stations started being opened in late 2018 and the system has been fully revitalized as of April 2019.
In October 2023, _Frozen reacquired the company and intends to update the station technology with modern standards as the last major station update was done in 2019.
In December 2023, with the approval of Traincarts, the conversion of the system to Train Carts technology has begun, with first TC-enabled service between Whitechapel Waterfront and Vermillion Victory Square established on December 19, 2024.

Third Party Rail
If you are interested in using a current CitiRail line for your own train service, you can do so!
We will be willing to work with any non-glitchable technology incorporating carts into the system. We provide interfaces between your own rail line and CitiRail. By using the CitiRail system, you open access for your rail company to cities without any further addition to infrastructure other than what you have already. CitiRail can be configured to provide express or local services to any station.
If interested, please leave a request at the talk page to discuss compatibility and use of current and future CitiRail tracks.
