📋 About This Mod

A vast Dwemer train station network, providing an immersive and fast way to travel around Skyrim and Solstheim.

"This Dwemer complex was discovered, mapped and opened up to the public by the Brunham siblings.

They were drawn to the area on account of the frozen earth near Winterhold falling away into darkness, they eventually managed to find a safe way down and into the facility. Upon investigation they discovered great steam powered machines that were still tirelessly tended to by ancient automatons that would carry them into other stations around Skyrim. Each "train" station was found to have a series of tubes that would suck a traveller up to the surface and back into the fresh air of the countryside. Eventually another discovery was made, an oceanic port that housed a great metal ship that would sail beneath the waves to Solstheim.

After a short while, many people from all around were drawn to this place. Some seeking refuge, some sought lucrative business opportunities and others just simply came to explore. This new underground heart of Skyrim would bring all of the cities and towns a lot closer together, for better or worse.

Keeping the peace in the Dwemer train stations were many automatons that for some reason were unaggressive unless the tranquillity of the facilities was threatened. They protected their long gone master's creations as well as anyone living who would walk amongst them."

I always hated fast travelling myself and as such often looked for mods that would apply alternatives to Skyrim but I never found one that completely satisfied me, and with that the creation of this mod commenced. A year and two weeks in the making. (on and off)

Not inspired by any other train mods as I never used any as they weren't available for Special Edition.

(I now realise there was in fact another train mod for SE since 2017)

All major cities and towns (and some minor locations) now have a tube-port somewhere just outside of their walls in an attempt to ensure compatibility with other mods. These tube-ports will suck the player and NPCs deep down and into the train station of that region.

There are a total of FOUR train stations each with their own tube network. One in the North, East, South and West. All besides the Northern station have an entrance hall that you can walk out to the surface from. The Northern station suffers from heavy structural damage which has resulted in cave ins. In addition to the train stations underneath Skyrim there are also two Submersible Docks, one accessible via the Northern train station and the other which is linked to it via submersible is under the ocean and earth within the Solstheim area. The Solstheim oceanic port has two tube-ports, one to the far North and one nearby the Telvanni mushroom town.
