'''Intercity Line 1''', also often shortened to '''IC-1''', is a private railroad built and operated by the | '''Intercity Line 1''', also often shortened to '''IC-1''', is a private railroad built and operated by the North West Gardellia Alliance, running east to west along Northern Gardellia. It connects the N.W.G.A Council to the western side of the alliance, starting at Fukuya and going through Bad Fischdorf, Council, Schitt's Creek and eventually terminating in New Brighton. | ||
=History= | == Alignment == | ||
The line is mostly serving the northwestern suburbs and cities of Gardellia. Beginning at New Brighton in the extreme west, the line traverses the marshes into plains. Before descending into tunnel, trains stop at Abaki, a major city in the area. Schitt's Creek is the next major landmark out of the Crystal Hills tunnel portal, being a small, cozy town providing interchange to Gardellia Mainlines. The line dives back into a tunnel to serve the Council region, providing various local and Gardellia Mainlines interchanges. IC-1 resurfaces east of Linirea momentarily, and returns in tunnels to Clexio Bay or TomiVille. | |||
==History== | |||
Despite it being the oldest IC line, IC-1 is still comparatively more high-tech and modern than the rest, but not without many steps to get there though. The first version of the line was an idea by Pixelixel (now derwurzelkater), Delfino88 and OscarTheOscar_. Its purpose was to connect the two cities of Bad Fischdorf (then named Noran) and Fukuya when the Central Peninsular line was down. (For more context, there weren't signs at some stations to spawn a train, and some didn't even have a button.) After the Central Peninsular line was repaired, the three decided that they enjoyed the line and kept it. | Despite it being the oldest IC line, IC-1 is still comparatively more high-tech and modern than the rest, but not without many steps to get there though.

In preparation for nationalisation, several drastic improvements were done to improve the line. Notably, the curve and gradient between Schitt's Creek and Council had been redone thrice, with the most recent being May 2021. It was also decided to merge IC-3 into IC-1 due to its feasible alignment. At the same time, the tracks between Council and Bad Fischdorf were redone as well as the platform extension works at Fukuya Downtown. Services were part suspended between Council and Fukuya Downtown from December 2019 | In preparation for nationalisation, several drastic improvements were done to improve the line.

Services were part suspended between Council and Fukuya Downtown from 9 December 2019. When through services to TomiVille and Clexio Bay opened on 11 March 2020, only a single track was in operation between Council and Dolphinplains whilst the other remained under construction. The IC-3 platforms at Dolphinplains became disused, with the former IC-1 platforms refurbished and reopened. Bad Fischdorf reopened the next day, which included a new platform and a new concourse. The second tunnel opened three days after. | ||
Line improvement works are planned on the former IC-3 portion. The TomiVille branch was closed for months when the station was rebuilt to have lengthened platforms. It was reopened on 21 March 2020. | Line improvement works are planned on the former IC-3 portion.
