	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.		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.

	~~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.		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.

	~~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==
			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]].

	==~~History~~==		====Initial development and expansion====
	=~~==Foundation and first stations (2016-2017)~~===		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.
	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-)~~===		====Introduction of line colors====
	~~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~~.		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.

	==~~Lines~~ and ~~routes~~==		==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.

	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.
