The InterContinentinal Railway Co. runs several high speed and freight train lines. One popular example is the Antarctic Express. The line is a high-speed express, Shinkansen and maglev train route traveling from Club Penguin to South Pole City with several stops on the way. It is a fast way to get where you need to be, connecting several local train/subway systems all across the continent.

Background

The Antarctic Express used to be a popular trans-continental ice-skating route during the High Penguin Confederacy. When the Antarctic Inudstrial Revolution happened at the end of the 17th century, ice skating lost its popularity to sports like hockey and soccer. The Express closed down for a few years in 2001 until late 2003, when G converted it into an intercontinental train route, when conversion was finished, Shinkansen was introduced thanks to a team of eccentric engineers who had taken a vacation in Japaland. It is now the fastest way to travel besides plane. In the video, it is a gameplay showing the ride, done on a a mysterious train simulator game from the human State of Japan.

Itinerod Circuit

In 2004, the beginning Antarctic Express was coupled with the Itinerod Postal Circuit to help both lines prosper. The Antarctic Express has been a proud co-operator of the circuit ever since.

Freight Line

In 2006, freight trains began operation on the railway. Then in 2008, the InterContinental Railway Co. (the company operating the Antarctic Express) built 1548kms of new track for cargo. After reaching half a million pebbles by 2009, it became a rival with Antarctic Sea Cargo, which at the time was waiting for its new fleet order.

Stations

The whole line including junctions, crossings and special stops has 33 stops.

Trivia

• Antarctic Express trains travel at a max. speed of 300 km/h (the Shinkansen can go as fast as this and their Maglev are faster than this, the Shinkansen has a maximum service speed of 260 km/h), far over the wind speeds of the AiringJet Current and the minimum speed of walking. Numerous safety features, such as advanced suspension, are installed in the train to keep passengers safe and comfortable. They are replaced by airtight bags in the Shinkansen services. Their Shinkansen trains can withstand the AiringJet Current.
• The Antarctic Express uses high speed trains. They're much faster then rival high speed trains such as the Acoola Express which travels at 150 km/h. The Terrastar can travel to speeds of of 186 MPH. And their New Way Shinkansen service has services of the fast Hope (max. speed is 300 km/h), the semi-fast Light Ray (max. speed is 285 km/h), and the local Echo (max. speed is 260 km/h).
• The Antarctic Express Co. has slowly begun to replace all their old trains with new maglev trains to achieve higher speeds in 2009 (faster than Shinkanen). Some of the new trains have achieved speeds of 581 km/h, faster than the wind speeds of an F5 tornado.
• In train lines, Shinkansen Day is celebrated every 1st of October, commemorating the first run of Japanese Shinkansen trains. There is no express and maglev; all trains are Shinkansen trains. The Shinkansen cars are built in Japaland, and then shipped to the Antarctic Express.
