North Station is a railway station on the North Line of Survival Railway Network, and an adjoining Connected Seas Coalition port. It is located at the northern edge of the spawn continent, the port allows access to the sea north of the continent.
About
The station is located at the northern edge of the spawn continent, it's port allows access to the sea north of the continent. A road stemming from the Road and Horse Network links spawn to the station (built predominantly by steveminesteve).
Architecturally, the station is inspired by Aztec and Inca elements, and consists of three spaces - the main entrance hall, railway platform, and port. All four transport networks (SRN, CSC, RHN, & NTN) can be accessed from the main hall. From the ceiling of the main hall hangs the skelcoweppther, a wither shaped statue adorned with three animal heads which was originally made by starr274 at the construction site markings of the station, and was saved as a monument to the activities of starr over the years along the North Line under darparniox's management. These helpful resources and distinctive shelters usually came with an endearingly bizarre twist.
The station is surrounded by a handful of statues, a ornamental platform, and the base of steveminesteve which is coincidentally in a similar similar style.
History
The station location was originally marked out on December 16th 2023, the first day of the Survival 6 world. However, progress was not swift on designing the station itself, and the bones of the station were only being created in early March 2024. A build session for the preceding section of North Line was held on the 9th of March, and upon completion of the line, a significant amount of the station was copied into survival by player who wanted to continue building. The majority of the interior, port, and finer details were added painstakingly over an extended period until early September.
The opening for the station was set for the 7th of September, but was delayed by a server outage that occurred hours beforehand. The revised date of the 13th was then also abandoned due to another server outage. Another week later, the station was finally able to be opened on the 21st.
The incumbent line manager of the North Line, darparniox, resigned upon the opening of the station.
