PDPRailways

The PPDAPP Train Network is the second mode of transportation across the server. Established in the third era, the network is maintained and managed by PDPRailways (abbrev. pdpR), which headquarters at 3 Old Town Rd. The network spans both underground and above ground lines and stations, and tours citizens through noteable areas in the server, primarily the CBD and City Centrale regions. The stations are named in relation to the features of the landscape surrounding them. The network utilises the minecart rail system, meaning users are required to place their own minecart on the lines to embark on their journey. Stations are connected via two way, directionally enforced lines, which operate on a point-to-point system which means carts cannot pass through stations unless on an express service. Because of this, there is no 'Central' station for trains to commute through, and often times train lines will form loops with other lines to connect a main region or area. Should a station feature more than one line connection, it is upgraded to an Interchange, except where there is the presence of connecting long-distance line, in which case the name changes to Terminal.

## PDPRailways Headquarters

The headquarters for pdpR resemble that of an old 19th to 20th century passenger train station, however modified to feature a service facility and museum on it's lower floors and the business offices on it's upper floors. Constructed of brick and stone, the design consists of ornate arches and tall, open pavilions which embrace the concepts found in the construction of other service facilities. The rail corridor that would normally form the contents of a station has been shortened and retrofitted with service equipment, and extends outside the left perimeter of the building only and through a railyard before adjoining to a midsection of track between Shepherd Station and Hotrod Station. There are two large clocks mounted to the front and rear faces of the building, however due to rising maintenance costs and the digitalisation of the associated infrastructure, the control mechanisms of the clocks have been removed.

## Early History

The first train station to be outlined was CBD station, however the first station to be fully implemented with all standards found on stations today was Lighthouse Station at 2 Lighthouse Ln. Connecting them, Advent station was next constructed, however it remained unnamed for quite some time. The line was expanded down towards Tavern Station (now Tavern Interchange) and then to Amethyst Interchange, the first interchange to be created on the server. Amethyst Interchange was then extended west and east towards Pickaxe Interchange and Mill Hill Station respectively. At this time, the CBD was not populated with structures, and as such a bridge was constructed over CBD station which now forms the intersection of Pickaxe Ave and Melon Rd.

## List of All Train Stations, Loops, and Lines

### North Line

* Amalea Station
* Zen Station
* Lighthouse Terminal

### East Line

* Shipview Station
* Tavern Interchange
* Amethyst Interchange
* Mill Hill Station

## List of Proposed Train Stations, Loops, and Lines

### Peninsula Line

This line would extend out of 'Peninsula Interchange', a proposed interchange to connect off the vacant side of Amalea Station. It would run through Peninsula Interchange, Neon Station, and Canvas Station before terminating at Paradise Terminal. These stations will facilitate a theme park, camp ground, and long distance terminal respectively. The line will also feature an express service, running from Paradise Terminal direct to Peninsula Interchange.

### North Loop Completion

The end-goal of the north loop is to feature approximately six more stations to bridge Amalea Station and Shipview Station together. Interchanges on this line would include the aforementioned Peninsula Interchange and Obsidian Interchange located on the far-eastern junction between the North Loop and the proposed East Loop.

### East Loop Completion

The end-goal of the east loop is to feature approximately four more stations to bridge Shipview Station and Loch Ness station together. The loop would feature one interchange; Obsidian Interchange listed above.

### Hotrod Metro

Due to the large distances involved with navigating the PPDAPP Raceway complex, pdpR have agreed to sponsor, fund, and build a small metro loop system integrating into Hotrod Station and servicing the approximately 6-8 grandstand gates located around the facility. The loop would operate under the same concepts that the town-wide passenger network follows, however stations would be named as their respective Gate numbers to reduce confusion. Although Hotrod Station technically allows passengers to interchange between one service loop and another, it will not be referred to as an interchange since the naming system only regards the passenger network.
