Capital Range Line


The Capital Range Line is the second most used railway route in the country. The Route begins just south of Boyce Central Station, with a special double track line equipped for 300kph. Four other tracks, of which are two designated for freight traffic. Main Freight yards are located near Flaggshap, Rim and just north of Columbia. The route is the second most used freight route in Kingston, with trains running in a very short range after one another.

Passenger Services are regularly on the line, with four major Regional Lines sharing the route. Three of the Four Regional Services are operated by Kingston Royal Rails. The Fourth line is Operated by Leo Express, a private Railway Operator, however they service for Kingston Royal Rails, stopping at Boyce Airport, Flaggshap and Rim, as well as the city of Morgan every second hour. Other than the regional services, High Speed Rails services use the high speed tracks of the route, such as the PanAmExpress or the CityExpress.

Trans Range Line


The Trans Range Line between New Berlin and Columbia is a short, yet very crowded. The Route between the the two cities is the merger of two main City Express routes, the one between St. Petri and Portland and the route between the Capital Cities and Port Ruppert. The Four track Route sees all kinds of passenger services. However freight trains are banned on this route, as they are not allowed to go faster than 120kph which is too slow for the high density route. The freight trains use a side route between North Columbia and Francfort, then join the main route on a fifth track until siding out in Colonia.

The Main Station of New Berlin is a major railway junction for all sorts of passenger services. From here, three major CityExpress lines side out to Port Ruppert, Ross and Portland.
