Before diving into this Train Travel Guide, some background information may be helpful:

===Trains in the Real World===

In real life, a train is a form of rail transport consisting of a series of connected vehicles that generally run along a railway track, and transports passengers and cargo (or "freight") between locations. Trains can only run along railway track, so are limited in where they can travel (unlike cars which can travel anywhere there is a flat, firm road surface) but are able to transport more goods at a more consistent speed than most motor vehicles, resulting in a more efficient, cost effective method of transport. In the industry, trains are referred to as "rolling stock" whereas the track the train runs on is the "permanent way." Trains travel on track - which generally consists of wooden, concrete or metal sleepers laid out in a bed of gravel ballast, with metal rails (standard or head-hardened steel for modern railways, or cast iron for older railway lines) fixed across them with spikes or screws.

Someone who drives a train is called a train driver. In North American Railway lingo, this train driver is often called an engineer, but internationally a railway engineer is someone with a civil engineering degree (or equivalent) who designs railway infrastructure.

Maintenance of railway lines is a very labour intensive process, though many machines now exist that make railway maintenance easier, and a number of issues can affect the track (which in turn affects the speed and safety of the train running along it.) Generally, speaking, the poorer condition of the railway line, the slower a train must travel across it to prevent issues (such as misalignments, derailments, broken rails, etc.) Adverse weather can also affect the condition of the track, and also the speed of passing trains. In heavy rain, the track bed can wash away. Fires can destroy the wooden sleepers (or 'ties' in American rail lingo) and extreme heat can cause the metal rails to expand or contract unevenly, causing breaks and 'wiggles.'

===Trains in Cantr===

Just as in real life, trains in Cantr move along vehicle connection types called [[Road|railways]]. They cannot travel on normal roads (expressways, sand roads, etc.) For a train to be able to stop somewhere, that location must have a [[railway station]] present, otherwise the train will terminate only at the end of its railway line.

Trains move very slowly when uncontrolled, but it is possible for a driver to increase the speed of the train by maintaining a project to "Use train controls" - similar to the ongoing project "working reins" when mounted on a horse. Trains consume coal as fuel, and will move at their minimum speed value when unfueled.

Two types of trains currently exist - a [[passenger train]], and a [[freight train]] variant.

==Your First Railway==

Ready to start building your first Cantrian railway? You'll need at least a railway vehicle connection type, a railway station, and a train.

===Railway Stations===

A location can only have one railway station, and trains can generally* only stop in a town with a railway station (though exceptions exist, such as with railway barricades, or at the end of a railway line as a last resort.) Trains will travel automatically along railways until they reach a railway station, and then they will terminate. Therefore, it's pretty important for a town to build a railway station. Trains, when stopped, will appear as vehicles INSIDE a railway station building, and can only be accessed from within the railway station.

===Railway===

The railway is a road connection type that allows for train travel between locations. Without this vehicle connection type, trains cannot travel. As a result, the most important part of your Cantrian railway will be your railway track - building and maintaining it (it will eventually decay without repair) are integral to Cantrian train systems.

Railways do not replace other vehicle connection types, and are not upgrades to existing roads, but are instead a totally separate road that exists alongside roads (such as sand roads, highways, expressways, etc.)

===Trains===

Once your location has a railway station, and there is railway connecting it to one or more other locations, you are finally ready to build your first train. Trains are built and named like any other vehicle, but once moved will appear within railway stations and not outside in a location under the vehicles tab.

===Railway Barricades===

Railway barricades can be built relatively quickly, and disassembled just as quickly, and when placed in a location block the railway vehicle connection type. Essentially, it will force a train to stop travelling along a railway, ending its travel in that location, and can be used to prevent train travel to towns and locations (for purposes of train robbery, etc.)

Only one railway barricade can be built in a location, and it must be built outside.

The freight train is a type of [[land vehicle]] that travels on a road type called '[[road|railway]]', between two or more [[railway station|railway stations]]. It has a relatively low capacity for passengers, but a high capacity for resources and objects, and some unusual mechanics that distinguish it from other land vehicles - namely, it can only travel between railway stations, and will not stop in locations without railway stations. [[railway barricade|Railway barricades]] can prevent train travel through a location.

Road

2020-02-02T01:54:38Z

Shammat: /* Types of roads */

{{InterwikiLink:Road}}
Roads are what characters travel on to go between locations. The quality of the road will affect what kind of [[:Category:Vehicles|vehicles]] can travel on it, and at what speed you will be travelling. The length of the road will also affect how long you will be travelling.

==Road length and direction==
Roads on newer islands have lengths equal to the straight-line distance between endpoints. Roads on older islands can be longer or shorter than the straight-line distance. Roads are always straight - they go in the same direction at every point - but this direction is not necessarily consistent with the direction on the visual map (the directions were generated automatically, but the script used to do this had errors).

==Improving roads==

Improving the roads can be time consuming. Some resources can be hard to find. For some projects, the required resources can be high. The length of the road and the type of the improvement will dictate how much materials it will take to improve the roads. A {{shovel}} is needed to work on road improvement projects. A [[wheelbarrow]] or [[improved wheelbarrow]] can be used to speed up road improvement projects.

If an improvement project is started at one end of the road, the town at the other end will not get the option to improve that road. They will not see your improvement project either. All resources must be added (and all the work done) at one end. Road improvement projects can be canceled, only if no resources have been added to them.

==Types of roads==

===Path===

Paths are the most primitive types of roads. All roads in Cantr are created as paths, and any improvement on them must be done by the characters of the game. Paths have a [[vehicle speed]] factor of 80.

Upgrading a path to a sand road requires [[sand]].

===Sand road===

All land vehicles can travel on sand roads. Sand roads have a [[vehicle speed]] factor of 100.

Upgrading a sand road to a paved road requires [[sand]], [[stone]] and [[oil]] (at a ratio of 70 : 50 : 1).

===Paved road===

All land vehicles can travel on paved roads. Paved roads have a [[vehicle speed]] factor of 135.

Upgrading a paved road to a highway requires [[sand]], [[stone]] and [[oil]].

===Highway===

Highways have a [[vehicle speed]] factor of 200.

Upgrading a highway to an expressway requires [[sand]], [[stone]] and [[oil]].

===Expressway===

Expressways have a [[vehicle speed]] factor of 280.

An expressway cannot be improved any further.

===Railway===

Railways are a special road type that allow for the travel of [[train travel guide|trains]] along them.

Normal vehicles cannot traverse railways.

The freight train is a type of [[land vehicle]] that travels on a road type called '[[railway]]', between two or more [[railway station|railway stations]]. It has a relatively low capacity for passengers, but a high capacity for resources and objects, and some unusual mechanics that distinguish it from other land vehicles - namely, it can only travel between railway stations, and will not stop in locations without railway stations. [[railway barricade|Railway barricades]] can prevent train travel through a location.

{{InterwikiLink:CategoryLandVehicles}}

=={{PAGENAME}}==

This category lists all vehicles in Cantr which can travel over land. These can only be built outside.

Some vehicles require [[engines]] to be built inside them in order to run. There are a number of different types of engines, used in different vehicle types.

A [[fuel injection system]] (FIS) increases the efficiency of one specific type of fuel, while preventing others from being used. Existing engines must be removed and a new one installed together with the FIS. The new engine (the old engine plus the FIS) is called a [[Tuned car engine]] or a [[Tuned motorcycle engine]] and is listed as such in the in-game manufacturing menu.

Some vehicles can be made by using the [[Assembly line]]. These vehicles appear twice in the in-game manufacturing menu. The second listing uses an [[Assembly line]], a piece of machinery which, although requiring time and resources to set up, reduces the amount of time to make each vehicle. (Vehicles that can be made this way are: [[bus]], [[limousine]], [[mini-van]], [[passenger car]], [[jeep]], [[small sportscar]], [[small van]], [[stationcar]], [[van]], [[small pickup]], [[pickup]], [[small tractor]], [[tractor]])
