Two Major Things Have Happened……

The Sacred Tower Appears

Our fast-running reporter discovered that a huge, vertically symmetrical structure had descended into the South Sea. Its enormous halo illuminated the entire sea. As soon as the news broke, people began discussing it excitedly, and many rode the Jacobin Central Line, Celestia Line, and Sunrise Plains Loop to see it for themselves. Experts say the structure's academic name is the Sacred Tower and speculate that it descended here from another dimension. Related research is currently underway, and we will continue to follow the story. (Thanks to Sen_Rei for building it.)

Southern Extensions of the San Kong Line and Kokona Line Open

Although the arrival of the Sacred Tower attracted considerable attention, railway construction never stopped. Today, following completion of the track connections, the southern extension of the San Kong Metro's San Kong Line (KR Headquarters–Green Bridge) and the southern extension of the Kokona Line (Green Bridge → South Bank Central → Snowfall) opened at the same time! The southern extension carries the San Kong Line through the Southeastern Mainline to Riverside Community. Together, the two lines form a southeast–northwest local-service corridor, making travel more convenient. Green Bridge Station was also expanded, with a new concourse built on its southern side. Although the Kokona Line no longer runs directly through to the Southeastern Mainline, this southern extension gives Green Bridge Station a direct one-stop connection to South Bank Central, greatly reducing travel time compared with the existing Sheffy Local Line. West of South Bank Central, the Kokona Line has taken over the South Bank Central–Snowfall section of the former Highland Main Line, making it a northeast–southwest route. (This also means that Highland Railway has been dissolved.) Here are the three stations that changed the most on the Kokona Line: Jacobin Club Station underwent a major renovation. The southbound platform was moved down to the second floor, while part of the former southbound track area on the third floor was converted into floor space, greatly widening both platforms. The Kokona Line platform at Green Bridge Station was moved underground. It no longer runs directly through to the Southeastern Mainline, and a connection for a branch line has been reserved. South Bank Central's platforms were expanded, and the western tracks were remodeled so that the Kokona Line can use platforms 5 and 6. According to Maki_Konuri, who led this project, the second part of the Urban Railway Reshaping Plan will follow: the New Kokona Line, officially named the Ajitani Line.
