Update 16 "Commuter track"
Heyho and welcome to the sixteenth update of my MD Dragon Islands Cities 
Do you remember the rail station of Shì dàotián? (Update 7) It’s possible to see something more than just the usual XTER trains since last monday. The LCRT Cooperation (Lòng Chèng Rail Transit) stretched the line 2 until this station, part service but direct trains into the downtown and to Dà nàng. It’s a reason for me to intreduce you to line 2.
Shì dàotián. A for the LCRT typical Tokyu 5050 series train is waiting fort the green light.

The train departures as usual punctual and heads through the rice fields.

The first stop is L?o Gang, Here you can find a small industrial area beside the old habour. (after which the station is named)

Luckily the other train on this image was a bit too late....

A old steel bridge buildt in colonial times crosses the Dragon’s Neck.

Another curve, another sraight piece of track....

The next station is Lóng Dàquiáu.

Lóng Dàquiáu is the last not suburbian station. Fom now on the trains will dive into the suburbian regions of Lòng Chèng.
The first stop on the city area of Lòng Chèng is Xiaocun. A parking garage and some bus lines make the trains more attractive.

Rice fields... a last time along the A2...

The line meets a bit later the shinkansen line and it will follow it for some miles...


The stationX?n shìch?ng is below a shopping center, transfer to the line U2 is possible. Btw. The name of the station means „new market“

L?olù, next station, next transfer station, this time to the line U1...

A train crosses Hàn ji? shortly before it arrives at the station with the same name....

This station is one of the last not modernised ones, no glass roof and about the lengh of two train wagons shorter.

That’s the point where line 2 meets line 1 and 6...

Central station

This was one of the last railroad crossings on even ground, but this sollution is better for traffic flow....

The station at the downtown hides behind the skyscrapers. The tracks crossing aboth are the ones of the line U3......

The city boarder to Dà Nàng is reached in some moments. This train heads to Tíng zài hú, the last highrises of Lòng Chèng to it’s left.

The stop Tíng zài hú was a station in colonial times, tuday it’s building is used for different things. It also can serve only 4 of the reccomended six wagons with it’s plattform lengh...

Dà nàng. The last station, since the departure at Shì dàotián a half an hour went by....

This is a small mosaique that gives an overview of line 2....



^(I know that theese three pics are saved in PNG, but in this case they need less memory than JPG, at least, Paint.net said so....)^
Is someone interrested in how the interior of a Tokyu 5050 looks like? Here is a example.
I hope you’ve enjoied this update,
Greetings from Lòng Chèng, Skimbo.
