Minecart Railway Station

I started a new minecart station and finished a new rail cart line: the Fucushima express. I just got really sick and tired of walking all that way.

The railway is under the Fucushima road and while it doesn't actually go to Fukushima nuclear reactor it does go by it (thus the name). The railway doesn't really go anywhere yet but its destination is close to the Creeper temple I last posted about.

Fucushima road is above and the rail below. Just beyond the far hill is the power plant.

 The building on the right is where Abby station is located.

But I'm getting ahead of myself.

The line starts at Abby station which is under The Plutus Group Building (the one on the right in the above picture). In the picture below is the bridge where the smoking room is located. The new bridge (closest) is for the minecart track.

The two sets of ascending stairs lead to platform B where the Fucushima express departs.

This is platform B where the mine cart departs. I built a booster beside it and the container box has some spare carts in it.

This is a clear view of the bridge between the buildings:

The booster cart automatically resets itself.

Here is where the mine cart leaves the second building and descends into the tube. You can see the Fucushima reactor in the background. It's still leaking.

The track turns left here then right where it encounters a booster.

On the right the track goes to Apvia and on the left past Fucushima.:

Here is another booster. This one will boost a cart no matter what direction it is traveling in. It's strong enough to boost a cart right to the end of the line:

I tamed another wolf and he (she?) decided to catch a ride. I learned It's hard to get them out of a cart.

The wolf climbed in a few carts while I was building the tunnel. He (she?) was even boosted way down the line a couple of times! More often than not it just got in my way and stopped my cart.


I hope to build a line out to Lakewood soon:

New road to Fukushima nuclear power plant

I finished a new road to the Fukushima nuclear power plant:

The power plant is at the top right.

This is the view from the Fukushima power plant.

I built a Fukushima nuclear reactor!

I decided Apvia wasn't getting enough energy so I built a Fukushima style reactor and wouldn't you know it - the damn thing blew up on me!

Taken by robot. This is a uranium reactor so you can see the rods melting. More radiation is coming in from the roof where chunks of rod blew through the roof and are now sitting exposed on top.

Luckily I built this plant some distance from Apvia so the damage should be containable. Lots of radiation is spilling into the ocean, unfortunately, but the people of Apvia don't really care much about marine life except to eat it; there is hope the radiation will kill lots of evil dolphins.
