Railway Trench 4xB

Submerge your railway network into these reinforced trenches. Build up to six parallel tracks with zero-grade roads and pathways running accross. These sections are inspired by the Alameda Corridor, a 20-mile freight connection in Los Angeles, California. It's more or less proof-of-concept, the mesh is quite plain / low poly.


You need the Terraform Tool to lower/raise the ground, otherwise they will just sit on top of your terrain. None of the tracks are actually underground, they are simply placed one level below the rest of your city. If you are familiar with other sunken / elevated assets, I think you will feel right at home. :)

I recommend rerouting your trains first, flattening a large area (-12m or more) and placing roads as guides. Attach the walls to the roads and reserve space for any bridges. Now replace the roads with railways. You can zone and build roads up to 1 cell from the edge. Residences will happily pop up next to your newly lowered tracks...

These things do absolutely nothing but improve the land value and compensate for noisy passenger or cargo trains. Lights can be turned on and off by connecting or disconnecting from your power grid (they will only light up in urbanized areas).

Known Issue:
- A bit of z-fighting when viewed from far away, mainly where the floors meet in the middle. Tried my best to prevent it by slightly offsetting the surface.
