Soviet Line

The Soviet Line provides the only rail route into the Soviet District, emerging from the Void District to the north. It begins in the city of Rutherford, near the Quotro capital of Port Thomas, and in addition to providing an easy passage to the Soviet cities, it also connects to the Qualterzaxym Line, allowing rail travel from Rutherford to Void settlements including Neighbour and Atlantea.
The lower section of the track within the Soviet District is also unofficially known as Trans-Siberian Railway.
== History ==
The line originated from the Kingston Line, which was originally constructed connecting Rutherford Junction with Kingston, via Rutherford Central. The Trans-Siberian railway (also known as the Soviet Line) was constructed in late 2012 to connect Moscow Airport with Vladivostok. The Kingston was restructured by closing the Rutherford Junction station and moving the Central Line to Rutherford Central. The stretch of the Kingston Line between the two Rutherford stations was closed.
The two lines were connected in 2017 between Kingston and Moscow Airport. During this time the Moscow Arena station was also added.
== Stations ==
=== Rutherford ===
The Rutherford central train station, in addition to being the terminus of the Soviet Line, also contains a stop on the Central Line, which provides easy access to the larger cities and more central areas of Quotro, including the capital city. The station is underground, with the front gate opening onto Founders Avenue near the northern edge of the city.
=== Kingston ===
The Kingston Station is a large building accessible from Cliff Road, on the hill above the town centre. This was not the original location of the station, however, as is discussed further in the History section of this page.
=== Moscow Airport ===
A very small, basic station in the north of Moscow beside its airport. It is situation on the roadside of the north-eastern corner of Loop Road.
=== Moscow Arena ===
The Arena Station is a building beside the gigantic Moscow Spleef Arena, on the corner or Loop Road and an unnamed street running perpendicular into the centre of the city. The tracks run beneath the arena, and the actual train-stop is in a basement beneath the station.
=== Vladivostok ===
The Line terminates in a tiny station on the northern edge of Vladivostok, on the roadstide of Limon Road.
== Environment ==
The Soviet Line is arguably the most scenic railway route in Quotro, spending the majority of its length above-ground. In addition to the long, straight Trans-Siberian Railway that provides a view of much of the inhabited areas of the Soviet District, the stretch between Rutherford and Kingston features a naturally winding path right through one of Quotro's most beautiful forests, with verdant glades coated with native trees and teeming with wildlife. Several impressive viaducts also cut through this stretch, allowing a breathtaking view of the scenery.
