The '''Colonia Railway System''' ('''CRS''') is an interconnected railway network serving as the primary means of overworld passenger transportation on [[Colonia]]. It is owned and maintained by the Colonia Rail System Infrastructure Authority, led by [[CrownPrince]], and operates under an open public benefit claim, providing free travel for all citizens of Colonia. The system, which opened in December 2016, is the largest active overworld infrastructure project, second only to the [[Nether Highway]] in overall reach.

Initially established as a single railway between two cities, the CRS has since expanded to include 76.8 kilometers (76,869 blocks) of track, 15 railway lines, 265 stations, and several hub stations facilitating transfers between lines. Over its operation, the CRS has accommodated hundreds of users and thousands of boardings. Each rail line is uniquely named and color-coded, with stations featuring distinct color schemes. Users are required to return carts to their arrival station and repair any missing rails along the track.

==History==
The Colonia Railway System was established in December 2016, shortly after the founding of Colonia. The initial railway connected [[Boathouse Station]] to [[Dark Oak Mountain Fortress (DOMF)|Dark Oak Mountain Fortress]].

====Initial development and expansion====
During 2017, the unnamed line was extended south to [[Sentinel Hill Station]], which became the first hub station. At this stage, the railways were given individual names, with the original north-south route designated as the [[Piccadilly Line]]. The [[Jubilee Line]], the second line, ran east-west and intersected the Piccadilly Line at Sentinel Hill Station. Initially, stone bricks were used as the foundation for the tracks. Over the following six months, both lines were extended in multiple directions, and additional railways were incorporated into the network.

====Introduction of line colors====
Following the release of Minecraft 1.12 ("The World of Color" update) in June 2017, the railway system underwent a visual overhaul. Each railway was assigned a distinct concrete color to differentiate it visually and by name. This change required a complete reconstruction of the existing network, replacing the stone brick foundation with color-coded concrete blocks. The Piccadilly Line was the first to be updated, receiving a red concrete color. Subsequently, the remaining lines were modified, and all future expansions incorporated the new color-coded system.

==Network and Infrastructure==
The first, longest and most important railway in Colonia is the [[Piccadilly Line]], which runs in a north-south direction. Most of the other railways connect to the [[Piccadilly Line]] at some point along its route. The exceptions are the [[Bakerloo Line]] and the [[Dover Line]]. At most hub stations, a connecting railway will be located above or below the railway you are on. Some stations have railways that run parallel with each other at the same level and on the same station platform. Some examples are:

* [[Dark Oak Mountain Fortress Station]] and [[Sentinel Hill Station]] servicing both the [[Piccadilly Line]] and [[Metro Line]]
* [[Lawson Springs Station]] and [[Lawson Village Station]] servicing both the [[Metro Line]] and [[Windsor Line]].

====Operational lines====
Each rail line is assigned a unique name and unique color of concrete on which the tracks are placed. This is to help identify railways both in-game and when viewing maps. Each station also has a unique name and signs are placed at every station to identify the station name, the railway name(s) and names of up to 12 stations in both directions.

==Policies and guidelines==
The Colonia Railway System is free to use for all citizens of Colonia. There are no tolls or fees to pay. Minecarts are provided at every station and players are welcome to use the minecarts with two important conditions. First, always remove your minecart when you finish your travels. Second, always return your minecart to the station you depart at. There are chests at every station to store the minecarts. Please do not keep the minecarts in your personal inventory or store them at your base(s). It is expected that every station will have at least 5 minecarts available and hub stations should have 10 or more at each platform.

Colonia is a Minecraft survival server based on community and building. It has evolved from running on a private server run by [[CrownPrince]] to a public server hosted by [[Sudofox]]. The server currently uses a whitelist to eliminate griefing, looting and other unwanted activities. Colonia is a vastly developed world connected with 15 overworld railways and more than 225 communities. There is also an extensive nether railway for faster travel.

== History ==

Colonia was created on Thanksgiving Night, November 24, 2016 by its 3 founding players: [[CrownPrince]], [[Leven]] and [[Eddiey]]. It originally existed on a private server hosted by [[CrownPrince]]. In early 2018, [[Sudofox]] discovered Colonia and offered to host it publicly. To this day, we are very grateful to [[Sudofox]] for both his generosity and brilliant expertise in maintaining and upgrading the server.

== Playing ==

All players are welcome to build where they like, trade and interact with other players and are encouraged to explore all that has been built in Colonia to date. The rules here are simple - do not grief, do not loot, do not attack/PvP other players (unless consensual) and have fun! Colonia's [[Economy]] uses the [[Poko]] as its official currency. Players are free to take items from community chests or other chests that are marked free. Do not take items from chests in buildings as they belong to current or former players (who return from time to time). You are free to harvest crops at any farm as long as you replant.

We are fundamentally a survival server but we do have one very important game rule that most players love - you keep all inventory on death.

The '''Colonia Railway System''', also known as the '''CRS''', is an interconnected railway network and the primary method of overworld passenger transportation on Colonia. The system is owned and maintained by [[CrownPrince]] under a special land area exemption claim, allowing free and open access for all citizens of Colonia.

Beginning in December 2016 as a single railway between two cities, the CRS consists of 76.8 kilometers (76,869 blocks) of track, 15 railway lines, 265 railway stations, and several "hub stations" supporting transfers between two or more different lines. Over the lifetime of its existence, the CRS has transported hundreds of users over thousands of boardings.

Each rail line is uniquely named and colored, and each station uses a unique color palette. Users are expected to return carts to their arriving station after use, and fix any missing rails from the track lines.

==History==
===Foundation and first stations (2016-2017)===
Construction began in December, 2016 - shortly after [[Colonia]] was created. It consisted of a single railway from [[Boathouse Station]] to [[Dark Oak Mountain Fortress (DOMF)]]. Shortly thereafter, it was extended slightly further south to [[Sentinel Hill Station]], which became the first hub station in Colonia. At this point, the railways were given unique names. The original north-south line was named the [[Piccadilly Line]]. Intersecting at [[Sentinel Hill Station]], the [[Jubilee Line]] became the second railway in [[Colonia]] and travels in an east-west direction. These railways originally used stone bricks to place the tracks on. Over the next 6 months, these two railways extended out in both directions and additional railways were added.

===Introduction of rail line colors (2017-)===
In June, 2017, Minecraft version 1.12 - The World of Color update launched. Shortly thereafter it was decided to give each railway a unique concrete color to help differentiate the railways visually as well as with names. This meant the entire existing railway system had to be completely rebuilt, changing every block with track on it from stone brick to a concrete colored block. The first railway to receive the color make-over was the [[Piccadilly Line]], which was given the red concrete color. Over time, the remaining railways were redone and extensions to these railways as well as new railways used the new concrete block colors to support the tracks.

==Lines and routes==
The first, longest and most important railway in Colonia is the [[Piccadilly Line]], which runs in a north-south direction. Most of the other railways connect to the [[Piccadilly Line]] at some point along its route. The exceptions are the [[Bakerloo Line]] and the [[Dover LIne|Dover Line]]. At most hub stations, a connecting railway will be located above or below the railway you are on. Some stations have railways that run parallel with each other at the same level and on the same station platform. Some examples are [[Dark Oak Mountain Fortress Station]] and [[Sentinel Hill Station]] servicing both the [[Piccadilly Line]] and [[Metro Line]] and [[Lawson Springs Station]] and [[Lawson Village Station]] servicing both the [[Metro Line]] and [[Windsor Line]].

===Current rail lines===
Each rail line is assigned a unique name and unique color of concrete on which the tracks are placed. This is to help identify railways both in-game and when viewing maps. Each station also has a unique name and signs are placed at every station to identify the station name, the railway name(s) and names of up to 12 stations in both directions.

Colonia Railway System

The '''Colonia Railway System''', also known as the '''CRS''', is an interconnected railway network and the primary method of overworld passenger transportation on Colonia. The system is owned and maintained by [[CrownPrince]] under a special land area exemption claim, allowing free and open access for all citizens of Colonia.

Beginning in December 2016 as a single railway between two cities, the CRS consists of more than 75 kilometers (75,000 blocks) of track, 15 railway lines, 225 railway stations, and several "hub stations" supporting transfers between two or more different lines. Over the lifetime of its existence, the CRS has transported hundreds of users over thousands of boardings.

Each rail line is uniquely named and colored, and each station uses a unique color palette. Users are expected to return carts to their arriving station after use, and fix any missing rails from the track lines.

==History==
===Foundation and first stations (2016-2017)===
Construction began in December, 2016 - shortly after [[Colonia]] was created. It consisted of a single railway from [[Boathouse Station]] to [[Dark Oak Mountain Fortress (DOMF)]]. Shortly thereafter, it was extended slightly further south to [[Sentinel Hill Station]], which became the first hub station in Colonia. At this point, the railways were given unique names. The original north-south line was named the [[Piccadilly Line]]. Intersecting at [[Sentinel Hill Station]], the [[Jubilee Line]] became the second railway in [[Colonia]] and travels in an east-west direction. These railways originally used stone bricks to place the tracks on. Over the next 6 months, these two railways extended out in both directions and additional railways were added.

===Introduction of rail line colors (2017-)===
In June, 2017, Minecraft version 1.12 - The World of Color update launched. Shortly thereafter it was decided to give each railway a unique concrete color to help differentiate the railways visually as well as with names. This meant the entire existing railway system had to be completely rebuilt, changing every block with track on it from stone brick to a concrete colored block. The first railway to receive the color make-over was the [[Piccadilly Line]], which was given the red concrete color. Over time, the remaining railways were redone and extensions to these railways as well as new railways used the new concrete block colors to support the tracks.

==Lines and routes==
The first, longest and most important railway in Colonia is the [[Piccadilly Line]], which runs in a north-south direction. Most of the other railways connect to the [[Piccadilly Line]] at some point along its route. The exceptions are the [[Bakerloo Line]] and the [[Dover LIne|Dover Line]]. At most hub stations, a connecting railway will be located above or below the railway you are on. Some stations have railways that run parallel with each other at the same level and on the same station platform. Some examples are [[Dark Oak Mountain Fortress Station]] and [[Sentinel Hill Station]] servicing both the [[Piccadilly Line]] and [[Metro Line]] and [[Lawson Springs Station]] and [[Lawson Village Station]] servicing both the [[Metro Line]] and [[Windsor Line]].

===Current rail lines===
Each rail line is assigned a unique name and unique color of concrete on which the tracks are placed. This is to help identify railways both in-game and when viewing maps. Each station also has a unique name and signs are placed at every station to identify the station name, the railway name(s) and names of up to 12 stations in both directions.
