Line 134:
One of the Commonwealth's main goals was to provide free trade and transportation, and naturally, a large rail station was going to be built there. Shopside, Westminster's marketplace, currently houses Westminster's main station. Although it was small at first, a recent expansion in early 2018 has established Westminster as a main train station on the server.
 
The boroughs were connected up first by rail, as each borough gradually joined. It started to become a major hub when the [[HITS]] rail was beginning to be built in June 2017, connecting Westminster to other major cities in the Western Hemisphere, notably [[TdC]], [[Mount Augusta]], [[Impasse]] and others[[Falstadt]]. Other notable connections at the time included [[SPQR]] and [[Southshire]], who have a grand train station of their own.
 
Once the Somber War started, progress stagnated on the station, but after its slow decline, the station was overdue for a makeover. In early 2018, a new station was built using part of the already existing infrastructure of the old station. The new station makes it more spacious than the previous iteration, and makes connections a little more efficient. New rail connections are also coming in due to the newly invigorated station, most notably the [[Great Overland Railway]] connecting Commonwealth to farther places afield such as [[Mount Augusta]], [[Yoahtl]], [[Vinland]], and [[Okashima]].
