but within a radius is all im saying, so until the end of the world (full development) you cannot really have cross-country wars

How about:
When you build a train station, you will get to see 3 textboxes. In these 3 textboxes you must enter in a name of another town, and if you press Ok, the town founder will get a report asking if they want to be linked to you. They must also have a train station.
So basically you can create a network of towns..

An the cost must increase with distance, to keep it realistic.

Better idea!
What if there were just pre-set tracks spanning across the world, with preset stations. You could get on the train when it comes into the station, and choose which station you want to get off at. The timer would tick down as if you were walking, but at like a 10x speed. You would pay like $75 to ride until any stop, or $25 per stop if they want to ride like 2 stops.

That may be easier, still expensive but not too expensive.

Good idea!

you could put it like TW attacking but instead it has attack or travel so if you press travel then you can travel but not attack or say 48 hours after you've reached the town... and if you click attack it takes a longer time for you to attack

just saying, there is already a job called "train robbing.", look on stats, but no-one is at the right lvl yet.
DeletedUser
Ah thats why i could never find it

Yes, even better idea TFB. That works much better. Preset train stations. As the world grows, they could add a few more in. It should cost a lot more than walking, but be much quicker.

Considering Trains of that era were steam-driven and burned coal or wood - I wouldn't see how the engine would run out of fuel as there are plenty o'streams to fill the hydro tanks and trees to burn.....
But having the train system would be neat - but how would it be implemented?
option1) readily available for any to use at any time, provided they have the $
option2) the train runs off an interal server-time.... If you wanted to take th 3:10 to Yuma and get to Phoenix by 4:20 and it's now 2:30 you're character would have to wait at the station for some time...

make a buisness out of it, people can loan you money, you can set up jobs and you can make your own railway in which other players can use.

Right now I'm thinking there should be some kind of quest where you have to build a certain length of railway track to have the option to construct a station in your town.
Once you've constructed the railway station you can then link it to a "main line". When you want to travel somewhere you will go to your railway station and be presented with a page similar to that of the Rally Point in TW, where you have to type a destination (a town name) into a text box, and choose an option (eg. pray, attack, sleep, visit etc.) before clicking the Travel! button.
Cost of travel could be a set amount per map square, so that the price increments based on distance. Also if you pay a fine you could stop the train at the next station just in case you change your mind, or risk health by jumping off.
Thoughts?
Oh, and there could be some kind of train crashes or similar, resulting in various amounts of damage to HP, depending on the severity of crash?

amazing idea:
Highway Robberies
You should be able to rob a carriage, however to make it very hard there needs to be loads of requirements for a successful highway robbery.
1) need to defeat everyone on the carriage in a duel. therefore high risk of death
2) need a horse (for thematic and technical reasons)
3) do it in groups for higher chance of success, and more loot.

Go here: http://www.weststats.com/index.php?page=jobs&sort=xp and look at the last job. You'll notice that "Robbing trains" is already a job, but nobody is a high enough level to do it.

rob all day and everyday

james, go to www.weststats.com, and they have a list of all quests, items, jobs and other stuff that would be hidden to lower level players.
