The
East Line (
Brumenese:
Ostlinie,
Lush:
Keleti Vonal), commonly referred to as the
Dinsmark - Alexandropolis Corridor, is a
high-speed rail (HSR) line in
East Belisaria that is part of the continent's larger
interconnected HSR network. It is served by the
Comet, a HSR service owned by the
Continental Comet Consortium (C3), a
consortium established by various railway corporations from
Brumen and
Drevstran. The East Line begins its service at Südbahnhof in Dinsmark the capital city of
Brumen, which also serves as its terminus & depot. It terminates in the city of
Alexandropolis, the capital of
Mesogeia. There are two types of services: the slower
Astro line which stops at all stations along the corridor, and the faster
Sage line which only stops at certain stations. The
Astro line is serviced by
Blitz 2 NG trainsets, with a service speed of 220km/h it is the slowest of all Comet service lines.
Sage lines are serviced by
Blitz 4 trainsets, with a service speed of 380km/h making it the fastest HSR service provided by the Comet. Talks of a HSR network between the two neighboring countries began since 1991 when both governments signed a
memorandum of understanding (MoU) which laid the groundwork for a fully integrated HSR network between
Brumen and
Drevstran. The Dinsmark - Angrast Corridor, now considered as Phase 1 of the project, commenced operation in 11 May 1994. Since then it has expanded its coverage to include Beredino in 2005 and
Alexandropolis in 2006.
