Introduction
The current network map
On Moxiecraft, anybody can build a railway. You are even allowed to modify the railways, as long as you are connecting a new station to the line. The system is vast and ever growing, so make sure to connect your town, in order for it to be easily accessible!
Regional Rail
The regional or local railways on Moxiecraft are marked with a hollow line on the map. These railways run exclusively in the Overworld, and serve settlements of all sizes. They cover more distance and connect to more places, but they are quite slow as a mode of transport. Due to minecarts travelling at a mere 8 m/s or 28.88 km/h, they are really impractical for regular commutes, if you have no other options, but they do provide nice scenery :D
Express Rail
Express railways, or sometimes referred to as InterCity, are the lines running in the Nether, as opposed to the Overworld. They connect less settlements, and those who are connected are usually either larger than average, built an express line themselves, or happened to be located on one. The only downside is the potential danger from mobs on unguarded stretches, but as you know, as long as you're moving, you're fine. You can usually transfer to a local train to get to your desired destination, and this trip will be far faster, than going exclusively in the Overworld, because the speed of the minecart is practically octupled — 64 m/s or 230 km/h, and that is some serious high-speed rail that even some real life networks can't achieve!
Shinkansen / Piston Bolt
The fastest railways on the server are the Shinkansens (name coming from their Japanese real life counterpart), also known as piston bolts or, jokingly, InterCity Express. These run on the Nether roof, due to its flat nature, which makes them quite easy to construct. They achieve a speed of 30 m/s on diagonals and 20 m/s on straights (108 and 72 km/h respectively), but when added to the fact that the distance covered is multiplied by 8, the speeds are 240 and 160 m/s or 864 and 576 km/h in Overworld terms. No train in real life reaches these speeds, the only thing that does are planes. They are also safer than both the regional and express railways, but it is difficult to connect multiple lines together
