The Winfield Concord is an agreement between towns on collaboration and development. The name is derived from the town of Winfield, which was a newly founded town as a central location between the other former two capitals, Lednice and Australia. After prolonged inactivity of Winfield and Australia, the capital system was deprecated and Nacra which even back then was considered the center of the Winfield Concord, became the sole capital.

Concord Railway
The Concord Railway is the most extensive private railway network on the RetroMC server, renowned for its sheer scale and the collaborative effort behind its construction. With a total length of roughly 62 thousand blocks between its two furthest endpoints, it connects a significant portion of the server's villages and stands as a testament to player ambition and cooperation.
Inception and Early Construction (Spring 2024)
The railway began as a passion project to connect Mitéria and Matatutu. The first two people to start this massive project were
NolantheWise and
DormantFocus35 in early spring of the year 2024. A few days later,
kubiklive20 joined this project and started to invest his own time and effort on an extensive level. He grinded almost daily to fulfill his dream of the longest railway on the server. It can be said with utmost certainty, that the majority of the sky bridge and rail were in fact placed by
kubiklive20.
However, progress started on the other end as well. The Owner of Mitéria,
tant33, rallied up almost eight people, who were bored on the server at the time, to join his tunnel mining project. It should be noted that it was done before TNT explosions were allowed on the surface (above y=50), so the whole mining process had to be done by hand. After seven long hours, the other end of the tunnel finally reached sunlight. All that was done for the reason that Mitéria cannot have any rail on the surface within the village boundaries whatsoever. The group managed to drill a 6x6 wide tunnel with a length of 2000 blocks under the village, where the Mitéria Mainland Grand Central Station was built.
Expansion and New Connections
Then a few weeks later, the railway started to reach Bulwark. The Owner
KittyCaat agreed to build a station on our way as to make the ride more significant. More stops on the way means more purpose was served. Only later on did
SvGaming234 decide to connect cactus to Matatutu via a sky bridge railway, different by altitude from the standard of y=76. Also, because of the proximity to Lednice,
Vyrvin decided to connect to the railway via a junction not far from Matatutu as well. After some time, three players
kubiklive20,
Pittofer and another guy with a slime skin in a suit connected the remaining skybridge from Mitéria to Beetopia.
Pittofer was also rewarded with the honor of placing the last two connecting blocks to signify friendship and trust.
A staggering half a year later, the owner of RMCURA
Q0AL unknowingly connected his village to the concord railway using an existing road built by Milton because he actually wanted to build towards Spawn Town and even prepared himself and his villagers to spent countless hours and resources on that task. But right after finding out, that by joining the concord railway project, they would be automatically connected to Spawn Town and multiple other villages, he sighed in relief and entrusted further planning on the project to the central committee chairmen of the Winfield Concord. The 5th of March 2025 marks the day RMCURA officially joined the concord railway project.
After an entire month, on April 7th, the user
Overallsteak748 contacted
kubiklive20 to ask for permission to connect to the main railway. His village LavasTown just so happened to be just around 800 blocks away from the nearest railway. Thus, another member joined the project.
On May 15th at exactly 8:41 PM UTC in a discord call, the owner of the United Imperial Provinces
Orknarok_666 accepted the invite by
kubiklive20 to the concord railway project. This however does not mean that both the UIP and the Winfield concord merged, the later just encapsulates the concord railway as a sub-project. The main train station of the UIP already had a prefabricated sky bridge to Spawn and just had to have a little junction to the X=0 axis railway built by
Q0AL.
kubiklive20 took the initiative and connected the UIP to the concord railway system during May 2025.
After about a month, during late June and early July, the Central Committee member city Avalon was finally connected via intersection 2. Through the sheer amount of effort and time that the player
Miner927 invested into connecting the Avalon metro, which he conveniently uses as a sort of S-Bahn, he was able to painstakingly lay out 10.7 thousand rails within several days. To commemorate this significant event, the two players
Miner927 (Avalon Minister of Transportation) and
kubiklive20 (Main Representative of the Winfield Concord Railway Network) built a grand station on intersection 2. During that period of time, one lucky village owner was fortunate enough to be located very close to the railway. Thus the Village of Snowdonia, owned by
Snowenti, joined the Concord Railway Project on June 29th.
The Northern Empires Connection (September - October 2025)
On 28 September 2025,
SFRricraz63 (owner of Northern Empires) announced to his village members the plan to connect NE to the Concord rail network, with
5osi (NE assistant) being put in charge of the project. Project director
5osi announced his plans to construct an 8,411-block-long railway to connect not only Northern Empires, but also neighbouring DogTown, and the more distant Fillbrick, to the Concord network. The project was funded by
DogPool (owner of DogTown) with a donation of $20,000.
The plan included the establishment of an interchange station at the town of Chumhaven (part of NE), located along the existing NE-DogTown rail connection. From there, the rail travels north towards Osehn (part of NE), and from there turns west towards a to-be-constructed special 4-way interchange station (hereon referred to as 4way), located along the Avalon-Beetopia railway. From there, another westward railway connects to Fillbrick.
On the same day, construction was started:
5osi began work on the Osehn-4way line (which slopes up and down along the existing landscape), while
HanSolo20 (NE assistant) began constructing the Chumhaven-Osehn line (which was designed as an arched viaduct at a constant elevation of Y=75). At the same time,
Diffract (now NE assistant, at the time NE member) began work on the interchange station for NE-DogTown-Osehn.
The Chumhaven-Osehn viaduct was finished around 2 October 2025, being designed by
HanSolo20 and built as a group effort by several village members, with some also donating cobblestone to the construction of the around 2000-block-long viaduct, which features 175 arches.
The Four-Way Interchange
The central 4-way interchange station was a critical and ambitious part of the Northern Empires connection. Designed by {{user|hansolo20]] in Creative mode, its construction was undertaken during a distinct community event.
The event was an overwhelming success, attracting so many participants that the game area suffered from significant lag and connection issues, with minute-long delays between actions. Despite the technical challenges, the collaborative effort of around 10-12 people made substantial progress. Later it was finished by fewer people and brought into light with an exquisite design and importance to the entire concord railway.
