Minecraft:Canal Line

The Canal Line is a major railway connecting the major cities along the Malaclypse Interior Waterway. It is officially maintained by Erisiana.

Prior to the construction of Malaclypse, this line included the Seaside Line's westernmost segment from Malaclypse to GWNS.

This was the second rail system to have a ticketing system.

History

The Canal Line originally ran from New Seattle Station to Green Willie Naval Station to provide the latter with a connection to Erisiana. Most of its length was built in view of the canal so that the Erisiana Navy could easily observe the northern and central sections of the canal. It was intended to have a single stop along the route at Lookout Naval Station.

About halfway along its length, the railroad was intended to go directly over or around the existing rail station at Finejo. However, the authorities in Aranzia approved of Erisiana running the Canal Line thorough the existing station, and they agreed to allow Erisiana to use some of the existing length of the Finejo Line, which connects Espertio to Finejo. As a result of this agreement, the fortress at Finejo experienced a huge boom in tourism from residents of New Seattle and Malaclypse.

A small roll-through station was built near the northern landing of the Malaclypse Bridge to alleviate concerns that naval workers would be unable to relieve themselves after the harrowing experience of riding down the ramp from the bridge's north end (although by that point they likely already had). A new city quickly sprung up at the site named Malaclypse. The approach, which descended to the north then bent to the east, was changed to go straight north into the newly built Malaclypse Station. The section of the Canal Line that ran from Malaclypse to GWNS was disconnected from the line and became the first segment of the Seaside Line.
