Railways in bruhyluven

Railway transport is the main method of transport in Bruhyluven. The entire world is connected through railways, and this page serves as a guide/wiki of the different railway systems.

## Europe

### France

France has by far the largest railway network in Europe, with 3 lines connecting Paris to Algiers, Canada, and Moscow. The French railway network cuts through most of central Europe on the way to Moscow. Paris is undoubtedly the most important station on the server, serving as a connector between the Americas and the rest of the world.

### Germany

Germany has a small railway network connecting to Austria Hungary. Germany only has one railway station near Berlin, in the middle of the French Moscow line. The railway is 1 rail wide.

### Austria-Hungary

Austria-Hungary has one railway station with two lines: Berlin, and Warsaw.

### Poland

Poland has one station, in Warsaw. Warsaw connects to Livonia and Austria-Hungary, and is reachable by transferring in Livonia from Moscow, or in Austria Hungary from Germany.

### Livonia

Livonia has one railway station, which although small, is still of significance as it connects European railway lines. It has 3 lines: Moscow, Paris via Denmark tunnel, and Warsaw.

### Moscow

Moscow, although it only has 2 lines, is one of the most important stations on the server. This is because of the Trans-Siberian railway, currently the only railway connecting Europe to Asia. (More about this railway in the "Railways of note" section.) From Moscow you can go to Livonia and continue into Europe, or to West Alaska, continuing into Asia.

## Africa

Africa only has two stations, Algiers and Cairo. These both connect onto each other. There are however plans to expand these railways to Djibouti and eventually Vietnam.

## Antarctica

Antarctica has one station, with plans to connect it to Algiers.

## North America

North America has three stations, being in New England, Canada, and Atlanta.

## Asia

### West Alaska

West Alaska has one railway station, though while small, is one of great importance. This is because the Trans-Siberian railway connects here. From West Alaska you can also take the Shinkansen to Tokyo, and eventually connect to Korea.

### China

China has one station in Beijing, with a singular railway line going to the middle of nowhere. Japan has plans to contact China and connect their railways through Korea.

### Abessina

Abessina has a small railway network, with stations in Baghdad, Suez, and Damascus. These are however not connected to any international lines.

### Japan

Japan has by far the most extensive railway network in Asia, with 5 stations. Due to the cramped nature of Japan, these stations are all located entirely underground. From West Alaska you can get to Tokyo, the largest station. From Tokyo you can either head north for Hokkaido, west towards Kyoto, or to West Alaska. 3 of the 5 stations Japan has are connecting stations, with Kyoto being the next. From Kyoto you can head to Tokyo or Kyushu. In Kyushu you can either connect to Korea or head for Kyoto. Japan also has the largest bridge on the server, wrapping all the way around Hokkaido and towards Tokyo.

## Railways of note

Some railways in the server are especially of note for several reasons. These reasons may include anything from being ridicolously long, having a weird quirk, or going through several countries.

### Trans-Siberian Railway

The Trans-Siberian railway is the first railway that likely comes to mind when you think of notable railways in Bruhyluven. Consistently being built every Bruhyluven version, this railway takes the title of longest railway on the server, even beating out the Trans-Atlantic. This railway can be travelled in any Bruhyluven version, generally following the same route each time. On the current version, it takes upwards of 8 minutes to travel this railway at 20 TPS. You can either get on it from West Alaska or Moscow, with one stop in Lake Baikal.

The railway is however far from perfect, as it cuts straight through trees and huge forests, inhabited by mobs. These mobs can obstruct the route and push your minecart back in the other direction, a horrible setback on such a long railway.

### Trans-Atlantic Railway

This is also a railway that has consistently been built each Bruhyluven version, but this particular one is special because it features the longest tunnel on any Bruhyluven version, spanning the entire Atlantic ocean.

### Paris to Livonia

The line from Paris to Livonia is peculiar as it goes through or under 5 countries, these being France, Germany, Denmark, Poland, and Livonia. This is despite the railway being shorter than some domestic lines.

### Tokyo Bridge

The Vladivostok-Tokyo Shinkansen crosses the largest bridge on the server, wrapping around the entire coast of Japan. While this does make the railway stick out, what makes it stick out even more is the fact that the bridge goes directly over the Hokkaidrome race track, and is covered with sponsors. It also has a subtle nod to Evangelion at the exit of Tokyo, going through a tunnel with the same colors as Shinji's EVA.

### Deet0109

There is no railway called Deet0109, however Deet has been an important figure of rail transport across all Bruhyluven versions. Large parts of the current railway network worldwide has been constructed by Deet. You can usually tell by the railway stations, with the exception of West Alaska. These railway stations are usually one block with a button attached to it, or several blocks with buttons attached to them.

Deet is also the constructer of the Trans-Siberian railway and large parts of the European railway.

## Previous methods of transportation

In previous Bruhyluven versions, there were several alternative ways used to get around.

### Coolidgerail

Coolidgerail was a system popular during the early versions of Bruhyluven. This used a system where you would bounce off water with an Elytra to achieve very fast speeds. This allowed you to traverse the entire world in mere minutes, but was incredibly costly to implement, as not only did TPS fall significantly when using it as so many chunks were being loaded, but the system itself required command blocks to work. Furthermore, Coolidgerail takes up at least 4 blocks of space per line, and as such was incredibly space inefficient.

### Icerail

Icerail can still be found in some parts of the server today such as Canada and Antarctica, however at one point this was the main method of transport to get across the world. Just like Coolidgerail, it required a lot of space to implement, but was and still is at the same time easily the fastest way to get around. Creating icerails however is tedious. There is a good reason there was never an icerail trans-Siberian.

### Planes/sideways rockets

Believe it or not, either as stunts or out of genuine boredom, people traversed the entire world in a straight line with sideways rockets, or planes. This was far more common on earlier versions of Bruhyluven, where space exploration was far more important.
