Nostra:Amtrak

Amtrak is a continental public railroad union overseeing systems all across Terra Nostra North America. Headquartered in New York City, New York, it currently unifies the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (New York), Chicago Transit Authority (Chicagoland), and local transportation authorities from America.

On August 4th, 2026, Amtrak was founded to streamline international icerail cooperation between North American nations with the goal of having equal standards for high quality public travel across all nations.

Standards

For national icerail systems, blue ice must be used and placed within y=8 so that you stand on y=9. The track is 2 blocks wide, ice should be staggered with gaps of 3 blocks, the pattern shifted two blocks on the other half so that the complete pattern forms C shaped gaps around the ice blocks; this configuration requires the least amount of ice while allowing perfectly fine travel.

Operations

Icerail Routes

Within the Summer of 2026 many icerail routes have taken shape across the nation of America with notable stations in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

Plans have been drafted to connect New York City and Chicago with construction starting soon.
