Eastern Mainline

Eastern Mainline is the oldest and busiest rail line in Kwitzka. It's operated on by KPQ, Nqlät Nödden and Bayland's StarExpress. It's the only rail line in Kwitzka to use in-cab signalling.
== History ==
The Eastern Mainline was the first rail line in Kwitzka to be built, being opened in 1976. It was electrified when opened, as to reduce the impact of another possible oil crisis hitting Kwitzka. The rail line was upgraded to speeds of 160km/h in 1992, and then to 225km/h with the BRIC in-cab signalling in 2015.
BRK Infra AQ was tasked with increasing the speed limit of the rail line from 225km/h to 250km/h in 2023.
== Route ==
The rail line originates in Nqlät Cëntr station, where it intersects the Coastal Mainline and Ferúqo Branchline. The rail line then continues to Zwihlön, where it intersects the Helös Line. The rail line then intersects the Ösinägläfi Line in Äntahxzö, before continuing on to the Baylandese border near Ëbxöq.
== Specifications ==
The Eastern Mainline is mostly 2 track, but smaller 4 track segments are also present. The speed limit is up to 250km/h for trains using in-cab signalling and 200km/h for trains that do not use in-cab signalling. The speed limit is usually lowered in large cities, such as Nqlät or Zwihlön. There are multiple passing stations for express trains to overtake stopper and freight trains.
