Good evening! This is sou7. Following this morning’s update in Day 17 of the Nanasaba 1st Season Development Diary, I will continue by introducing the Eidan Line.
Eidan Line – Overall Map of Masaba City
The Suzaku Avenue Line, introduced in the previous update, runs vertically through the urban area. The Tando Nishizumi Line, which forms an L-shape, is the one introduced in this post. And the Byakko Avenue Line runs east–west through the center of Masaba.
Now, let’s move on to introduce each of the subway lines.
Byakko Avenue Line
The Byakko Avenue Line was built as Masaba City’s second subway line. Whereas the previously introduced Suzaku Avenue Line runs north–south through Masaba, the Byakko Avenue Line is designed to run east–west.
The western terminus of the Byakko Avenue Line is Byakko Avenue Station. It offers connections to the National Railways and includes an adjacent depot.
The next station is Byakko Nishizumi Station, where it intersects with the Tando Nishizumi Line.
The central overlapping section shown on the screen is Masaba Central Station, as introduced in Masaba Central Station. For details on the structure of Masaba Central Station, please refer to Masaba Central Station.
The Byakko Avenue Line is a relatively short route that serves to complement the core urban area of Masaba.
Tando Nishizumi Line
The Tando Nishizumi Line is the third subway line built in Masaba City. It is named for the fact that it runs along Tando Street (east–west) and Nishizumi Street (north–south).
Its southeastern terminus is Torada Town Station. From there, the line connects to Suzaku Tando Station (which provides interchanges with the National Railways and the Suzaku Avenue Line), then to Byakko Nishizumi Station (which connects with the Byakko Avenue Line), and finally to Nishiden Nishizumi Station where it meets New Nishizumi Station.
Additionally, this line is electrified and operated by electric trains. With this conversion, the coal smoke from the steam locomotives that once filled the subway tunnels is gone—an improvement that has undoubtedly boosted the health of Masaba City’s residents.
Torada Town Station
Torada Town Station is located at the southern end of Torada Town, even further south than the National Railways station. It features an attached depot, designed to accommodate future increases in service frequency.
The Long-Awaited Subway Station
The underground station on the Tando Nishizumi Line has finally been built—the long-awaited subway station is now complete. There is no longer any need to strip the surface roads to construct the line!
In the screenshot above, you can also see Suzaku Tando Station, the interchange with the National Railways and the Suzaku Avenue Line.
New Nishizumi Station & Nishiden Nishizumi Station
This is New Nishizumi Station, the terminus. The Saiden Line and the Tando Nishizumi Line were built to the same standards, anticipating future through services. It is notable that cooperation between private railways across companies is evident—an aspect unique to gameplay where multiple companies exist, each fulfilling different roles.
In today’s development report, I introduced the Eidan Line’s Byakko Avenue Line and Tando Nishizumi Line. Together with the previously introduced Suzaku Avenue Line, these three subway lines support urban transportation in the capital, Masaba. In the next update, Day 19 of the Nanasaba 1st Season Development Diary, I will introduce the newly established Makasa Railway in the Southwest Region. Enjoy!
