New world rail
The New World Rail was a rail tunnel connecting the main continent and the New World using the Aqua Nether shard on CivRealms.
History
On the 2nd of February 2021, Okx announced on reddit [1] a reward of 150 stamina for the first person who would build a rail from the main shard to the New world. TTastic added 100 stamina to this bounty. The player ScoopyScoops instantly started the digging from west from Yamato's Aqua Nether. In the end of march, the BSR started to help from their side and they agreed on meeting at the -15K mark. The last rail was placed on the 4th of March, a little more than one month after the announcement of the reward. A few people participated to the project by giving some materials like iron ingots.
