The NW Avalanche Branch line, formerly the Barkenstein & Sunpetal Branch Line, is a large railway line on the Survival 3 world that aims to link the towns of Barkenstein and the Sunpetal Oasis to the Survival Railway Network at two points. It is currently under construction.

History & Development

The project began when the Lead Builders for the towns of Barkenstein and Sunpetal Oasis spoke about connecting both projects to the railway network on the world. Sunpetal Oasis would stretch eastward reaching Witchwood Station along the North SRN line. Barkenstein would go south towards Relleka Station along the West SRN line. Once completed, this will allow travel along a giant rail loop, one of the first of it's kind in the network's history.

FangsOfAmber, the mayor of the Sunpetal Oasis,leads the construction of the line between Dogfish and Witchwood station, while Barkenstein mayor Hiulgrin oversees construction between Dogfish and Barkenstein with the later expansion to the West Line. Aeghu, EnderWatts and TransitBiker have also lent their assistance with construction, while TekBot0507 and L1GHTN1NG_STR1KE have spearheaded the extension of the line to the North-West.

Stations

Barkenstein Station

Located within the city of Barkenstein. The station has allows for easy access to the city. The station is built in a similar stone and wood style as many of the surrounding structures. Additional it features a custom redstone system constructed by Hiulgrin.

Seaguard Station

Constructed next to the Barkenstein Guardian Farm. For most it is just a scenic spot to take in a view before heading on their way. If you decide to stop and look around be careful not to fall in as dropped items can fall into a collection system. Glass and Prismarine are primarily used with another custom redstone design by Hiulgrin.

S.S. Dogfish Station

Built within the remains of one of the many crashed or sunken ships in the area. The SS Dogfish acts as the nexus between the lush forests of the Barkenstein lands, the hot harsh mesa around Sunpetal Oasis and the underwater tunnels of the North-West. The once great ship for which the station is named connects via stonework to another shipwreck allowing for both underwater and above ground viewing.

Sunpetal Station

Hiding within the lush Sunpetal Oasis. The station offers a long view of the colorful reef pool and surrounding builds. A Donkey Barn (under construction) on an upper level allows an easy way to take in the local sites. Features a cart system by FangsofAmber based on the standard SRN design.

Frosting Lake

Nestled within a frigid tundra next to the namesake lake. An extension connects to the ever growing Cake Town (A build by EskyMiner). The small of baked goods from the nearby city usually leaves those stopping by feeling a bit hungry. The cool colors of the station match both the icy landscape and the nearby settlement. Features a cart system by FangsofAmber based on the standard SRN design.

Drowned Station

Built on a raised section of the ocean bed. Though isolated and currently only a stop-off, the station's four-sided design hints at the promise of future expansion. Its glass tunnels allow unobstructed views into the ocean, matched only by those from its upper floor.

Tekrimiter Station

Raised above TekBot0507's great industrial perimeter on a vast bridge. The station is compact and built largely of iron, stone and glass, with water elevators to and from the perimeter below located down stairs from the main floor; the adjoining tracks cut into the nearby cliffs and running above the river to showcase the area's natural beauty.

Calafort Station

Perched on one of Calafort's peaks at the start of the road to the gatehouse and town below. The station itself is notable for its great roof, constructed by Pigeon_Confirmed, and the great rose windows with glass in the colours of Calafort's flag. Meanwhile, the approach is dominated by L1GHTN1NG_STR1KE's monumental viaduct that ascends to the peak from the tunnel, guarded by a gate of standard Calish design. Features a cart system by Hiulgrin based on the standard SRN design, with track running perpendicular to the approach to accommodate the station's layout.
