Overview of Stepford County Railway

The network of Stepford County Railway is composed of three lines: Stepford Connect, WaterLine, and AirLink. Those three lines serve a total of 40 stations covered by 18 unique driving routes. (However, 6 of the stations are operated by Network Rail.) SCR houses a total of 19 rolling stocks for the three lines.

History

Charlie_RBX, the founder, opens up SCR to public on the 14th of March, 2017 with Stepford Connect as the first operator. Late in that year, WaterLine rolled into service as a minor line to Connect stopping frequently serving a variety of zones. Moving onto 2018, on the 21st of April, the biggest update yet called The Big Update changed the whole foundation of the operation system in SCR. V1.1 implemented 13 new stations to SCR and a new line, AirLink which held its grand opening in New Year's Eve. AirLink now carries passengers between Stepford Central and Stepford Airport Central in under 10 minutes, compared to 15 minutes in Stepford Connect!

Operation

Jobs

The main part of the railway is obviously driving. However, it cannot be complete without Dispatchers and Signallers controlling the network. Everyone in SCR starts as a Guest and ranks up roles to be able to dispatch and signal by going through training sessions and application process. High Ranks and above supervise their corresponding Low Ranks to ensure that they are working properly.

Train Identification

Long time until The Big Update, the railway solely relied on the numbering of the trains to identify them (ex. 357001, 707028), until SCR implemented the Headcode system which made it much more accurate and clear.

Safety Measures

In order to avoid collisions between trains, SCR operates under 527 fully functional 3-aspect signals. However, the drivers are not notified of what the next signal will be without a system that warns them. The AWS takes care of this issue. When the AWS recognizes a non-Proceed signal ahead, an orange circle with an exclamation mark appears on the train driver's HUD, also known as GUI, alongside with a loud beep sound. This tells the driver to slow down and prepare for a stop. When the driver fails to stop before passing a signal at Danger/red state, the Train Protection Warning System triggers an emergency brake for the train to forcefully stop the train. Finally, in the V1.1 update, a new speed limit indicator was installed on the driver's HUD which tells the speed limit of the section where the driver is operating the train.
