Thanalan - train tracks... what are they for?

[OMEGA_HACK]

There were no train tracks in 1.0...only copy pasta...lots of copy pasta...

[Gramul]

I always assumed mine carts.
As they went into the places where the mines where in 1.0.

[SecretCrowds]

To enter Gringotts.

[Bluevann]

They are used by Amajina & Sons to carry ores to Ul'dah. The Miners' guild is near to the "station" in the city, which is off limits.

I like to pretend they're actually there to hold Thanalan together, if you took 'em out the whole region would just come flying apart.

The Phantom Train (from FF6) should be running on those tracks to take you to the Phantom Forest somewhere. (West Shroud, perhaps?)
That'd be better than the Doomtrain imo

Pretty sure the Twin adders destroyed Doomtrain during the Castrum siege of 2.0's storyline....


Phantom Train on the otherhand, would be awesome....

especially of the monk personal limitbreak in 3.x is a suplex...

You have them mixed up - it was actually the Phantom Train that is the name of the secret Garlean railway that runs between Castrum Centri and Castrum Meridanium, and not Doomtrain. The Order of the Twin Adder merely blockaded it though - it's not destroyed (it's tracks still remain intact after all). Either way, Doomtrain could still show up somewhere.

But yeah, I'd love to see Thanalan's railway opened up to players - maybe it could be used like how the small boats are used in Limsa and Gridania (provide access to and from the city out into the field)?

To quote Selphie: "I like trains." :3

Did they ever do anything with the train tracks in Gustaburg in XI? I played that game through the first 4 expansions and they were never more than scenery the entire time.

Here's hoping that something cool does eventually take place upon the Thanalan tracks, but I doubt it.
