In October of 2017, Charlie_RBX, the [[Managing Director]] of [[The Network|SCR]], stated that a new line was coming and that it would be a subsidiary of Stepford County's regional rail operator, [[Stepford Connect|'''Stepford Connect''']]. Charlie also stated that the line would run from [[Benton]], follow the [[Stepford Connect|'''Stepford Connect''']] mainline to [[Port Benton]], and continue on to a new branch line. The line's name was later revealed to be '''WaterLine''', and the line opened around December 2017. The newly opened line, which ran from [[Benton]] to [[Greenslade]], called at the following stations: [[Port Benton]], [[Whitney Green]], and [[Greenslade]]. [[Morganstown Docks]] was later opened toward the end of the year and was placed in between [[Port Benton]] and [[Whitney Green]]. At the end of the year, the new Newry branch opened with five new stations: [[Newry Harbour]], [[Newry]], [[Eden Quay]], [[Faraday Road]], and [[West Benton]]. The [[Class 387]] was readded from [[Stepford Connect]] for Waterline services as well.

Overview

WaterLine is a minor operator of rail services across the Stepford County Railway network. It is a subsidiary of Stepford Connect, and as such Connect branding is visible on multiple aspects of WaterLine including rolling stock and signage. The highest speed of all Waterline rolling stock is 100 MPH and the max speed you will see is 90 MPH.

The WaterLine network has seen major expansions since the initial opening in late 2017 between Benton and Greenslade (now one of the five routes used).

The WaterLine Headquarters can be found at Faraday Road.

This is the first operator to share tracks, because this line and Stepford Connect share a small section of track between Benton and Port Benton.

History of WaterLine

2017

In October 2017, Managing Director Charlie_RBX stated that a new franchise was coming and that it would be part of Stepford Connect. He also stated that services would start at Benton, follow the mainline to Port Benton, and continue on to a new branch. The franchise's name was later revealed, and services commenced in December 2017. The newly opened line services ran over from Benton to Greenslade, calling at Benton, Port Benton, Whitney Green, and Greenslade. Morganstown Docks was opened shortly after. By the end of the year, the Newry branch opened with five new stations, being Newry Harbour, Newry, Eden Quay, Faraday Road, and West Benton. The Class 387s, rejected from Stepford Connect, were reintroduced for WaterLine services.

2018

V1.0 brought big changes to WaterLine, introducing three new train classes - the Class 171, Class 319, and Class 701. The update also brought a new branch towards Connolly, calling at Cambridge Street Parkway and Ashlan Park along the way.

During December 2018, the V1.1 advent calendar was launched, and had a bunch of sneak peeks and upgrades for WaterLine, including:

  1. The refurbishment of Class 165 and 166 units.
  2. New stations Airport West and James Street.
  3. The removal of Class 701 units from service.
  4. A minor refurbishment of Class 387 units.
  5. A major refurbishment of Faraday Road station.

After the update was released, WaterLine services became slightly more frequent, but in line with the opening of new lines for Stepford Connect and the commencement of AirLink services, the trend quickly ended.

2019

On May 14th, V1.3 released, and the Class 508s were introduced as the first Next Generation trains for the operator. On June 8th, the Class 387s were transferred to AirLink, and Class 379s were introduced to replace them. On August 31st, the Class 171s were upgraded to Next Generation. In early October, the Class 319 units were confirmed as next on the roster for upgrades.
