RetroMC hosts many highways and railways. However unlike them, the Concord Railway is the biggest railway network on the entire server with a total length of roughly 28 thousand blocks of distance between the two furthermost Villages. Due to the proximity of [[cactus]] to the Z = 0 Railway, one can assure, that you can basically count in the total length of that railway as well. However that we consider to be it's own thing. The railway began as a passion project to connect [[Mitéria]] and [[Matatutu]]. The first two people to start this massive project were {{user|NolantheWise}} and {{user|DormantFocus35}} in early spring of the year 2024. A few Days later {{user|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 {{user|kubiklive20}}. However progress started on the other end as well. The Owner of [[Mitéria]] {{user|tant33}} rallied up almost 8 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 7 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. Then a few weeks later, the railway started to reach Bulwark. The Owner  {{user|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 {{user|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]], {{user|Vyrvin}} decided to connect to the railway via a junction not far from [[Matatutu]] as well. After some time, three players {{user|kubiklive20}}, {{user|Pittofer}} and another guy with a slime skin in a suit connected the remaining skybridge from [[Mitéria]] to [[Beetopia]]. {{user|Pittofer}} was also rewarded with the honor of placing the last 2 connecting blocks to signify friendship and trust. A staggering half a year later, the owner of [[RMCURA]] {{user|Q0AL}} unknowingly connected his village to the concord railway 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 will 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 march of 2025 marks the day [[RMCURA]] officially joined the concord railway project. After an entire month on April 7th, the user {{user|Overallsteak748}} contacted {{user|kubiklive20}} as 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. It should also be mentioned, that besides the Concord Railway, other huge railway systems also exist and can be implemented. For example the 2 axis railways, that go on exactly the Z = 0 aka X = 0 coordinates, which make a perfect cross on the circular world map. Since the concord railway does not associate with both of these, they merely serve as connecting paths that can be used to connect two distant Winfield concord villages or regular concord railway members. On May 15th at exactly 8:41 PM UTC (UTC+0) in a discord call, the owner of the [[United Imperial Provinces]] {{user|Orknarok_666}} accepted the invite by {{user|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 {{user|Q0AL}}. {{user|kubiklive20}} took the initiative and connected the [[UIP]] to the concord railway system during May 2025. Since the [[UIP]] train station connects other provinces nearby, it also has non-concord railways connecting villages such as [[Kekistan]], [[AmishCity]] and others, which explains the weird connection on the line-map below.
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 {{user|NolantheWise}} and {{user|DormantFocus35}} in early spring of the year 2024. A few days later, {{user|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 {{user|kubiklive20}}.
However, progress started on the other end as well. The Owner of [[Mitéria]], {{user|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 {{user|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 {{user|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]], {{user|Vyrvin}} decided to connect to the railway via a junction not far from [[Matatutu]] as well. After some time, three players {{user|kubiklive20}}, {{user|Pittofer}} and another guy with a slime skin in a suit connected the remaining skybridge from [[Mitéria]] to [[Beetopia]]. {{user|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]] {{user|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 {{user|OverallSteak748}} contacted {{user|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]] {{user|Orknarok_666}} accepted the invite by {{user|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 {{user|Q0AL}}. {{user|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 {{user|Miner927}} invested into connecting the Avalon metro, which he conveniently uses as a sort of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-Bahn S-Bahn], he was able to painstakingly lay out 10.7 thousand rails within several days. To commemorate this significant event, the two players {{user|Miner927}} (Avalon Minister of Transportation) and {{user|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 {{user|Snowenti}}, joined the Concord Railway Project on June 29th.
=== The Northern Empires Connection (September - October 2025) ===
On 28 September 2025, {{user|SFRricraz63}} (owner of [[Northern Empires]]) announced to his village members the plan to connect NE to the Concord rail network, with {{user|5osi}} (NE assistant) being put in charge of the project. Project director {{user|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 {{user|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: {{user|5osi}} began work on the Osehn-4way line (which slopes up and down along the existing landscape), while {{user|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, {{user|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 {{user|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.
=== Security and Claims ===
Aside from the usual railway placing, skybridge building and station design, a different aspect was worrying the Winfield Central Committee: the problem of griefing, namely the possibility of deliberate destruction of any aspect of the railway. In that regard the user {{user|kubiklive20}}, inspired by the obnoxiously long road claim of the village [[Mojang]], decided to claim parts of the concord railway under the Mitérian flag. Same goes for [[Lednice]], whose owner {{user|Vyrvin}} also decided to invest his own resources into preserving the longest railway project on the entire server.
Therefore, on the 12th of July 2025, both [[Lednice]] and [[Mitéria]] now share a border somewhere in the middle of the railway. Both players also used their Assistant rights to also connect [[Lednice]] to [[cactus]]. Therefore, starting from mid July, there now exists one continuous claim with borders from cactus to Beetopia.
Later on, the remaining stretches were also claimed. {{user|SvGaming234}} claimed the entire section between Beetopia and the Thornrun Junction Station. From there {{user|Miner927}} claimed the entire stretch to Avalon.
=== Relation to Other Networks and Future Outlook ===
It should also be mentioned, that besides the Concord Railway, other huge railway systems also exist and can be implemented. For example the 2 axis railways, that go on exactly the Z=0 and X=0 coordinates, which make a perfect cross on the circular world map. Since the concord railway does not associate with both of these, they merely serve as connecting paths that can be used to connect two distant Winfield concord villages or regular concord railway members.
After a somewhat long hiatus, word started to spread that the concord railway is able to accommodate several villages that can connect and intersect with its massive and lengthy railway. However, one such example can be made with regards to the axis railway, which has way more potential to accommodate several intersections. Even the concord railway has competition, but it stands out in the way that it is entirely privatized over the length of the main path. The same cannot be said about more distant villages who have an easier time connecting to the axis railways and thus connect to members of the winfield concord.
The only problem is, that the entire message and point of the railway being private kind of crumbles at the sight of the potential that lies within just combining every railway and joining together. It should not be excluded, that distant members might connect to axis without being part of the concord railway, therefore a new form of relations was established, which relies on mutual consensus over which villages belong, and which not. Future plans might be revised, so for now the status quo shall remain at that.
Besides that, a new member has joined under these rather peculiar and new circumstances. The player {{user|Piotrek5S}} has voiced strong will to connect his village [[Pioland]] to the railway system. A distance of 6,000 blocks was to be challenged, but not without help. The interesting thing is, because the axis railway does not belong to anyone but has potential to be used by anyone, means it is somewhat of a mutual and social space which serves purpose to everybody.
And because of the evident success of the concord railway, the owner of the server {{user|JohnyMuffin}} has donated 50.000$ under the pretense of public service. Part of that money could be used for connecting the aforementioned village and a few others, but the main goal was to enhance the axis highway. The player {{user|Q0AL}} has started to further expand the axis highway along X=0 by placing cobblestone along the way. His work in early 2025 has helped out a lot by not having to place blocks for the future railway builders {{user|Piotrek5S}} from his village to the nearest axis connection point and {{user|kubiklive20}} who laid 8,000 rails from [[PumpkinWood]] to [[Polaris]].
=== Fillbrick-Bistar-LavasTown railway project ===
Independently from what the rest of the Concord Railway was up to, one brave player {{user|Matiok_}} has decided upon himself to further extend the railway in it's middle section. His work can be interpreted as rerouting [[LavasTown]] to the Four Way Station on a direct route, rather than going through [[Mitéria]] and then [[Beetopia]]. On the 15th of November 2025, his project has been fulfilled, with the exception of not connecting to the Four Way Station just yet. This part will hopefully soon follow.

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 16.png NolantheWise and 16.png DormantFocus35 in early spring of the year 2024. A few days later, 16.png 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 16.png kubiklive20.

However, progress started on the other end as well. The Owner of Mitéria, 16.png 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 16.png 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 16.png 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, 16.png Vyrvin decided to connect to the railway via a junction not far from Matatutu as well. After some time, three players 16.png kubiklive20, 16.png Pittofer and another guy with a slime skin in a suit connected the remaining skybridge from Mitéria to Beetopia. 16.png 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 16.png 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 16.png OverallSteak748 contacted 16.png 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 16.png Orknarok_666 accepted the invite by 16.png 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 16.png Q0AL. 16.png 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 16.png 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 16.png Miner927 (Avalon Minister of Transportation) and 16.png 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 16.png Snowenti, joined the Concord Railway Project on June 29th.

The Northern Empires Connection (September - October 2025)

On 28 September 2025, 16.png SFRricraz63 (owner of Northern Empires) announced to his village members the plan to connect NE to the Concord rail network, with 16.png 5osi (NE assistant) being put in charge of the project. Project director 16.png 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 16.png 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: 16.png 5osi began work on the Osehn-4way line (which slopes up and down along the existing landscape), while 16.png 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, 16.png 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 16.png 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.

Security and Claims

Aside from the usual railway placing, skybridge building and station design, a different aspect was worrying the Winfield Central Committee: the problem of griefing, namely the possibility of deliberate destruction of any aspect of the railway. In that regard the user 16.png kubiklive20, inspired by the obnoxiously long road claim of the village Mojang, decided to claim parts of the concord railway under the Mitérian flag. Same goes for Lednice, whose owner 16.png Vyrvin also decided to invest his own resources into preserving the longest railway project on the entire server.

Therefore, on the 12th of July 2025, both Lednice and Mitéria now share a border somewhere in the middle of the railway. Both players also used their Assistant rights to also connect Lednice to cactus. Therefore, starting from mid July, there now exists one continuous claim with borders from cactus to Beetopia.

Later on, the remaining stretches were also claimed. 16.png SvGaming234 claimed the entire section between Beetopia and the Thornrun Junction Station. From there 16.png Miner927 claimed the entire stretch to Avalon.

Relation to Other Networks and Future Outlook

It should also be mentioned, that besides the Concord Railway, other huge railway systems also exist and can be implemented. For example the 2 axis railways, that go on exactly the Z=0 and X=0 coordinates, which make a perfect cross on the circular world map. Since the concord railway does not associate with both of these, they merely serve as connecting paths that can be used to connect two distant Winfield concord villages or regular concord railway members.

After a somewhat long hiatus, word started to spread that the concord railway is able to accommodate several villages that can connect and intersect with its massive and lengthy railway. However, one such example can be made with regards to the axis railway, which has way more potential to accommodate several intersections. Even the concord railway has competition, but it stands out in the way that it is entirely privatized over the length of the main path. The same cannot be said about more distant villages who have an easier time connecting to the axis railways and thus connect to members of the winfield concord.

The only problem is, that the entire message and point of the railway being private kind of crumbles at the sight of the potential that lies within just combining every railway and joining together. It should not be excluded, that distant members might connect to axis without being part of the concord railway, therefore a new form of relations was established, which relies on mutual consensus over which villages belong, and which not. Future plans might be revised, so for now the status quo shall remain at that.

Besides that, a new member has joined under these rather peculiar and new circumstances. The player 16.png Piotrek5S has voiced strong will to connect his village Pioland to the railway system. A distance of 6,000 blocks was to be challenged, but not without help. The interesting thing is, because the axis railway does not belong to anyone but has potential to be used by anyone, means it is somewhat of a mutual and social space which serves purpose to everybody.

And because of the evident success of the concord railway, the owner of the server 16.png JohnyMuffin has donated 50.000$ under the pretense of public service. Part of that money could be used for connecting the aforementioned village and a few others, but the main goal was to enhance the axis highway. The player 16.png Q0AL has started to further expand the axis highway along X=0 by placing cobblestone along the way. His work in early 2025 has helped out a lot by not having to place blocks for the future railway builders 16.png Piotrek5S from his village to the nearest axis connection point and 16.png kubiklive20 who laid 8,000 rails from PumpkinWood to Polaris.

Fillbrick-Bistar-LavasTown railway project

Independently from what the rest of the Concord Railway was up to, one brave player 16.png Matiok_ has decided upon himself to further extend the railway in it's middle section. His work can be interpreted as rerouting LavasTown to the Four Way Station on a direct route, rather than going through Mitéria and then Beetopia. On the 15th of November 2025, his project has been fulfilled, with the exception of not connecting to the Four Way Station just yet. This part will hopefully soon follow.
