Regarding my thread . . .

Just to follow up on this and to say thank you to LL.

They just added a new item, the Premium Rail Handcar . . .

"The latest Premium-only perk is a fully interactive railcar that you can ride across more than 80 regions of the Second Life Railroad. Up to four people can ride and explore on each car!"

Get yours at any of the Premium Gifts Kiosks . . .

Thank you very much LL.

I like it!  I have an old steam powered locomotive, but have not ridden the rails in a couple of years.  Think I will take a handcar tour!

[Melita Magic]

I want to try the railroad car. I don't really know where to take it though. I don't recall seeing railway tracks in Second Life, except maybe Bay City. I don't think I have any landmarks to any rail tracks.

[Hugsy Penguin]

There's lots of rail road in Heterocera Atoll.  Check out:

For landmarks to the SLRR stations (with rez zones) you can also check out the SL Wiki Second Life Railroad

[Knutz Scorpio]

The notecard that comes with the railcar has several landmarks of places that have rez zones.  Also if you decide that the railcar isn't the best way to travel the virtual rails you can pick up some freebie locomotives at these locations.

Ho hum more trinkets ....where are the real deals... free land allowance increases , tier reductions.... the thing sl users who've been here any length of time would REALLY appreciate......

Does the handcart have thruster rockets to ensure that when it hits a boundary crossing and takes to the air it lands safely ??

No, it has the soft handoff that is pretty common with SL rail stuff. Makes for less of those "flying crossings."

[Ceka Cianci]

i cross them a lot with my horse and they are pretty smooth..

or were the last time i road there..
