}}'''Stepford Connect''', more commonly known as just '''Connect''', serves as the main operator for rail service across the Stepford County Railway network.

Stepford Connect Headquarters is situated between [[Stepford East]] and [[Stepford Central]].

'''WaterLine''' is a subsidiary of Stepford Connect, and as such you can find Connect signage and branding used on trains and at stations operated by WaterLine.

== History of Stepford Connect ==

=== '''2017''' ===
Stepford Connect was the first operator for SCR, entering service on November 25th of 2017. The first trains to operate its services were the [[Class 700]]s. Services began between Stepford Town (later renamed [[Stepford Central]]) and [[Benton]], then were later extended to [[Stepford Airport Central]], forming an airport rail link between the city and the airport. Around the same time [[Port Benton]] opened, which was the first non-mainline station on the network. The station was also the first to feature a terminus loop. Later, the new [[Coxly Depot]] was opened to alleviate traffic from the overcrowded [[Benton Depot]], along with the addition of the [[Class 333]] units to further improve the frequency of services. The addition of the new [[Class 321]] units followed shortly after on the 29th, and so did the opening of the mainline to [[Winstree]] (spiritual successor [[Leighton Stepford Road]]). Around December, many stations on the line, namely [[Bodin]], [[Benton Bridge]], [[Stepford Airport Parkway]] and [[Stepford Airport Central]] were renovated for larger capacity due to an increase in passenger traffic. A renovation to [[Benton]] followed shortly after. On December 4th, two new train types entered the fleet: the [[Class 357]] and [[Class 387]], which were the first Electrostar trains in the history of SCR. The new [[Class 350]]s entered service shortly after on December 6. On December 11th, some Class 700s were fitted with a special livery to celebrate Christmas and the [[Class 185]]s entered service on the 13th. On the 21st, the Class 387 units were taken out of service in favor of [[Class 377]] units.

=== '''2018''' ===
New trains entered service on the stroke of midnight on January 1st: the [[Class 170]]s. The [[Class 720]]s followed, and were the first Aventra trains. Benton got another renovation on January 9th to its present-day look. On April 21st, SCR got a complete revamp with [[The Big Update|V1.0]], which had a major impact on Stepford Connect, including the scrapping of the [[Class 700]] units, which were replaced by the [[Class 707]]s, and many station renovations or replacements, such as [[Leighton Stepford Road]] which replaced Winstree, and other stations such as [[Rocket Parade]] opened. On August 4th, a new train class was announced for the fleet: the [[Class 365]], which has still not entered service. Stepford Connect did not receive any changes until December 31st, where the [[Morganstown]] and [[Edgemead]] extensions were opened, and [[Class 68]] units were introduced.

=== '''2019''' ===
Things remained the same for Stepford Connect until April 28th, when a new extension to [[Whitefield]] opened to much success. Then on May 6th, the [[Class 331]]s were introduced. On May 14th, the [[Class 158]]s entered service, the first [[Next Generation]] units for the operator. On May 29th, the [[Class 185]]s were upgraded to Next Generation, and on June 8, the [[Class 377]]s were upgraded. On July 5, the [[Class 350]]s and [[Class 357|357s]] recieved their NG upgrades. On July 9, the [[Class 458/5]]s were introduced. The [[Class 68]]s were then upgraded on August 7th. On August 14th, the Class 458/0s were put into service. On August 31, the [[Class 170]]s were upgraded. On September 22nd, a sneak-peek from SCR's official Discord server confirmed the upcoming extension which will pass through Westercoast, with new scenery designed by thehazad9, the [[People Director]]. New stations were revealed over time that were going to be on the extension, namely [[Faymere]] and [[Northshore]]. A fourth station, [[Starryloch]], was revealed on October 16th. The terminus of the extension was revealed on October 18th - [[Llyn-by-the-Sea]].
