History

Early History and Old World

The company known today did not start in Whiteley. It started as a vision by JustFarkie to create a wide rail network across the Old World. He planned a route called the Great Eastern Main Line from Chokster City to Nanthaven via Cyra. He started in the small town of Scotstounhill and began building. Being extremely inexperienced and unaware of the proximity of several towns along his route, he was forced to stop building and abandon. There were too many permissions to get for a simple route and an entire network would take years. He focused on helping User:Kottlewing in building up Chokster City rather than attempting to create his vision.

East Western Trains

By the time of the New World, JustFarkie had created several unsuccessful attempts at starting a regional network around several towns he had founded. When being involved in the foundations of an Old World SMP around the town of Arcadia he met jamess__. They collaborated on several projects on the Old World.

After failing to build up his town of South Oaksville, JustFarkie ventured to the new Eastern Line and founded his new town at  EN1 . He slowly reached Councillor and during the October Break from school rapidly expanded the town to Mayor enabling him to create transport links. He created a small mall under Ellesume's MRT station and an a walkway down to future platforms. However, he then realised that he needed Senator to build a transport hub and quickly halted the project. He was extremely desperate for the Senator rank he tried to invest time into building new buildings and expanding. He tried for the rank in January 2016 and failed. He kept trying and kept failing up to April 2016. He then rage quit the MRT and rejoined in late 2016 looking to a small town he had founded a while ago called Mortonborough. It had seen little progress since founding the town. It was then something new began to spark.

jamess__ also wanted to make a rail company based in his town of Mallison. Eventually he collaborated with JustFarkie to create the company known today. JustFarkie promised he would make a route to Mallison but wanted to create a link to Mortonborough from Whiteley. However, Mortonborough was not the new required Councillor rank so he created a plan to serve within Whiteley's city limits to Southwold University and the Aerodrome. AP_Red did several world-edits to create the new rail track to the two destinations.

jamess__ and JustFarkie began creating a plan for further routes. JustFarkie sold his town of Ellesume to _Kastle because he no longer needed it for his use and it had made no progress in months. He began giving up hope with Mortonborough and founded The City of Aquilia which also failed and he got annoyed. He got bored building for hours on end and quit again.

Sometime after his return in 2017, AP_Red rebuilt Whiteley's Turing Square Station and the two original routes were cut off. To complete the station off he constructed a network of new tracks to Iconia and a new station at Quins Junction. JustFarkie and jamess__ began opening a few routes to these places and Mortonborough got Councillor so AP_Red and JustFarkie carved out a new route into Mortonborough's Travis Dock Road Station which is also served by the STC Metro. Thing are looking up for the company.
