West Atoll Railroad

The West Atoll Railroad, also known as *WARR*, is a railway located in Heterocera Continent. Historically, it was far longer and had many branches, that changed shape over time. At its greatest extent it connected Neumoegen with Elpenor and had two branches towards Hera and Rustic. Historical pictures are preserved here.

## History

The WARR was a private initiative to build a modern railway towards the West Atoll, as most railway initiatives took place in East Atoll. At its greater extent, it had several stations: Neumoegen, Burns, Electra, Sikkima, Gunda, Andraca - Loepa, Hantu, Sibine and Elpenor. Branch 1 reached Hera (where, at some point, it had a spectacular tunnel), while branch 2 reached Rustic. At its maximum extent, WARR was more then 4500 m long.

In November 2013, most of this was abandoned. A track remained operational between Neumoegen and Burns. In 2014, a railway was built between Burns and Grote, but since then, nothing else had been built. The two branches to East were abandoned since 2013.

The Lindens wanted to rebuild the railway and purchased parcels of land along former WARR tracks all the way to Elpenor. However, nothing had been done. As for 2020, there is a long and continuous track of land connecting Grote rail end and Elpenor. This track cannot be used for vehicles as it does not allow scripts to run.

## Status as for 2020

There are private-owned tracks in Neumoegen and Burns. Also, there is a rail built on Protected Land between Burns and Grote. Further West, there is a long trail of *Linden Right Of Way* from Grote to Elpenor, with some interruptions.

### Neumoegen - Burns

This sector suffered some changes from its shape in 2013. It has two connections to the main rail: one close to Oculea sim border and one from Neumoegen station. There is one station in East, Shin Moebaru, with two platforms for passengers. To West, there is another station with a single platform, which appears to be built on the ruins of Burns station. The railway crosses over the main line over a bridge. To West, the railway splits, with one branch going through a tunnel.
