🚂 About Trains

A section dedicated to the City Server Railroad (CSRR) and rail infrastructure of the server with information such as the current engine roster. As well as note-able megaprojects such as the 15,000 block railroad to spawn as well as the locomotive shops.

📖 City Server Railroad History

The railroad started with humble beginnings with the first engine shops being established in EP. 9 which was posted on March 25, 2020. These shops were located on the other side of the massive Golden Gate Bridge and would kick off the start of the CSRR. The first mainline trackage was laid in EP. 12 and the first engine was built in EP. 13 right after. 

Over time, the network would slowly expand across the city with subsequent industries being connected and the first passenger station being constructed in EP. 20. Of course, due to more and more industries being connected and more and more rolling stock required to handle the huge amount of goods, a massive “hump yard” was built in EP. 43. As well in EP. 44 the Big City gained its train terminal and was heralded in during the 300 subscriber special. In EP. 47, tragedy would strike as the first steam locomotive that the CSRR attempted to build blew up during testing, why it exploded no one knows, but the subsequent investigations chalked it up to human error. 

Eventually, the railroad continued to grow and sought to expand itself even further, so, in November-December of 2021, it embarked on its largest megaproject yet, the 15k Block Railroad. This massive effort is explained further in its subsection down below. Subsequently, the new locomotive shops were built to fit with the ever-expanding CSRR which is also explained below the 15k Block Megaproject’s subsection.

After the construction of the Venice Oil Refinery, and the Thomasbug Steel Mill, Thomasburg and Venice ended up becoming an industrial hub outside of the Big City and also had their regional airport built in EP. 96. On the 100th episode, the CSRR decided to do a competition against the local truck company and cargo airline to see which of the three could transport 100,000 ingots of iron the most efficiently. Unsurprisingly, the train was the most efficient only needing 19 cents per stack of ingots per day. Comparatively, the airline spent $1.08 per stack, and the trucking company 72 cents per stack respectively. 

On EP. 106, the CSRR decided to trial a large steam engine and a large diesel engine to see which one would be of best fit. After many different trials, the CSRR concluded that the UP "Big Boy" was the better of the two engines because of how well it mastered a 33 car long oil train up the 4% grade to the 15k Block mainline. 

Thanks to the aforementioned industries there were very large oil trains that could reach over 30 cars long, the original infrastructure that was built within Venice and Thomasburg was in dire need of an upgrade as all of the sidings were taking on too much pressure. So in EP. 126, a new railyard was built to help take on the massive amount of cars both industries needed. As of now, the railroad hasn’t done any other massive expansion projects, but its importance  

🗺 15 Thousand Block Railroad Megaproject

The project was kicked off on a video posted on December 6, 2021, and was built in a 5 part series (EP. 55-59), the first multipart series of its kind within the Let’s Play. It was subsequently finished in a video posted on April 8, 2022, as it was indeed one of the largest projects that was undertaken at the time. The only projects that rival the mass scale (that were recorded) are the 4-part 15k block highway project, the 3-part Canal project, and the construction of both the new Locomotive shops and the 4k Subscriber Special Apartment Tower. 

The stops on the Railroad are as follows: The Big City, Gresley’s Curve, Dragon’s Rawr, Williamstown, Maplelane, Hawthorn, Thomasburg (location of the Steel Mill), Venice (location of the new Refinery), Green Hills, Crover (location of the Wind Farm), Desert Block Town (location of the Pit Mine), Julius (the station is shared with an unnamed town), Petria, Spawn Town (station as of 25.03.25 has not been constructed). A notable landmark between Williamstown and Maplelane is the Costa Rica National Park.

🏭 Locomotive Shops

The Locomotive Shops were built in EP. 72 and is currently (as of 25.03.2025) the building with the largest footprint in the server spanning 170 chunks. The locomotive shops were built as a replacement for the old shops which were located far out of the way on the other side of the massive Golden Gate Bridge and were also starting to get too small for what the CSRR needed. 

⚙ Engine Rosters

1. EMD SW1500 Switching Locomotive. The first engine to ever be built for the CSRR and is in a Black and red livery (later either another SW 1500 was built or the color was changed to green as shown in the EP. 50 thumbnail, not entirely sure). Introduced in EP. 13

2. EMD SD40-2 Mainline Diesel Locomotive. The first mainline engine to be built and is in a blank gray livery. Introduced in EP. 36

3. EMD F59PHI Passenger Diesel Locomotive. The first passenger engine to be built and is in an Amtrak Pacific Surfliner livery. This engine was also the first one to be fully automated by LUA code. Introduced in EP. 44

4. K-36 2-8-2 "Mikado" Denver and Rio Grande Western Steam Locomotive. The first steam engine to be built. This locomotive unfortunately did not survive past its episode as it subsequently exploded due to no water in the boiler. Introduced in EP. 47

5. K4 4-6-2 Pennsylvania Railroad Steam Locomotive. The second steam locomotive to be built. This locomotive was featured in the last 15k block railroad series to showcase the whole line as well as EP. 70 where it was so frustrating to drive, Jackal instead took King Julius III the rest of the way home. Introduced in EP. 59

6. UNU DMU Subway Car (not exactly sure what its real-life basis is). This train set runs on the elevated line that was built in the main city and runs from the Airport to the Strip Mall. Introduced in EP. 66

7. EMD GP38-2 Diesel Locomotive. The locomotive is in a Canadian National (CN) livery. Created to help assist with both switching and mainline duties (becomes a regular throughout the series). Introduced in EP. 67

8. EMD GP9 Diesel Locomotive. The locomotive is in a "Rockport Pacific" green and black livery. Is in the episode where the shunting yard is converted to be remote-controlled. Is also the first locomotive to be created in the new Locomotive Plant (later in EP. 125 it appears to be in a Southern Pacific livery, though this change could’ve happened earlier). Introduced in EP. 75

9. EMD GP38-2 Diesel Locomotive. The locomotive is also in a CN livery. The first duplicate engine to be created for the railroad and becomes a mainline regular as well. This engine also helped to move 100,000 iron ingots to the newly built Thomasburg Steel Mill subsequently securing victory for the train. Introduced in EP. 100

10. Union Pacific "Big Boy" #4014 4-8-8-4 Steam Locomotive. The largest locomotive on the Minecraft server faced off against the CSX diesel securing a victory from both Jackle and Meepman over the diesel. Introduced in EP. 106

11. GE AC4400CW Diesel Locomotive. The locomotive is painted in a CSX livery and famously faces off against the Union Pacific's Big Boy. Introduced in EP. 106

12. ČSD Class T 478.4 Diesel Locomotive. The locomotive is painted in a Czech Railways livery. It also helped to build all the stations along the 15k block Railroad. Two were created to have push-pull passenger service and it was also automated. Introduced in EP. 115
