Despite | 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. | ||
Shortly after, the North West Gardellia Alliance was formed, putting the responsibility of the line not in the three players' hands, but the entire alliance's. A few weeks later, the council building for the Alliance was formed, and with it a need for a connecting line. IC-1 ended up being the second line to route to Council, after IC-2. | Shortly after, the North West Gardellia Alliance (NWGA) was formed, putting the responsibility of the line not in the three players' hands, but the entire alliance's.

As the Alliance grew, so did its need for a connected web for transit. As a result, IC-1 was extended to Schitt's Creek on 24 February 2018. The initial platforms were underground. | |||

The | A massive renovation of the line took place in June 2018. Tunnels and stations were revamped, adding a new tunnel design and trackbeds all throughout. The line was also re-routed to make smoother curves and speeds, adding more realism to the line. In January 2019, the town of Schitt's Creek underwent massive redevelopment which moved the entire line aboveground. Cross-platform interchange was to be provided between southbound North West Gardellia Mainline services and eastbound IC-1 services. These works involved some months of closure, reopening in Spring 2019. | ||
=== Extension to New Brighton === | |||
The alliance managed to expand its reach westward which required a further extension westwards to reach far-away cities such as (old) Sint Maartenstaad.<!-- The old Sint Maartenstaad was located southwest of Abaki. It has since been moved to the former city of Kralyn after an ownership transfer. --> Rapid construction was done, and the line was extended again to Sint Maartenstaad on 2 September 2018, with intermediate stations at Lakeview (formerly Lakeview City) and Crystal Hills. Abaki was not ready at the time which opened later than expected. | |||
Due to the abandonment and move on Sint Maartenstaad, the section between there and Abaki was suspended for months since December 2019, before being announced its permanent closure. before adding two more stations at the end to serve Delmarva City and New Brighton on the 14th of September, 2019. | |||
=== Nationalisation === | |||
On 8 June 2020, the [[Ministry for Infrastructure and National Development]] purchased the line for $60,000 from the North Western Gardellia Alliance. The line will also be integrated into the mainline network in the future after extensive renovations. | On 8 June 2020, the [[Ministry for Infrastructure and National Development]] purchased the line for $60,000 from the North Western Gardellia Alliance.

Emergency brakes were installed at several stations on the line by derwurzelkater. Trains will be stopped when passengers pull the lever during emergency situations. Due to renovations and refurbishments, most of these mechanisms were lost, with the exception of Council station. | |||
