The Spectral Line is an STA railway situated in northern Shire. It currently serves four stations from the highlands town of Krain to the classical town of Hafenstadt. The railway is being planned to expand up to Ostrana. With an operational length at about 2.8 kilometers, it is among the intercity railways with the shortest operational length serving The Shire.

Structure

The Spectral Line's operational parts consist of two tunnels, connected with one bridge. The line's eastern edge is located in Krain. The Krain station connects westward to the eastern tunnel, estimated to be 550 meters long, which leads to Alpha Village. However, east of the Krain station, there is a non-operational extension of the line consisting of a tunnel, bridge, and a curved circular loop. This extension has a length of about 365 meters.

West from the Alpha Village, a bridge spans around 220 meters towards the main tunnel, The Spectral Tunnel. The current operational length of The Spectral Tunnel is approximately 1.5 kilometers and serves the Cape Beyond and Hafenstadt Central stations. However, past Hafenstadt Central, a non-functional part of the tunnel, which forms its majority, spans around 5.6 kilometers. This part of the tunnel goes under Corazon Bay, Jia Dynasty, and The Gore, all the way to Ostrana. In total, the structural length of the tunnel is estimated at 7.1 kilometers. These make the total structural length of the line at about 8.2 kilometers (5.1 miles), while the operational length is roughly 2.8 kilometers (1.75 miles).

Stations Along the Spectral Line

• Krain: The eastern stop of the Spectral Line. Krain is a town situated in the highlands of northeastern Shire. The town is known for its snowy panorama and for its GUP clothing brand. The town's station also serves the Anuman Line.

• Alpha Village: The village is constructed by Antheus as a restoration project of the original Alpha Village in Mainland. Some of the more prominent structures include a defensive wall and a lighthouse.

• Cape Beyond: The original Cape Beyond before Cape Beyond in Lost Commonwealth (LC). The only constructed buildings are a station and a bar-and-inn building. Since the project was moved to LC, the construction of buildings in this location is likely to be discontinued.

• Hafenstadt Central: The western operational stop of the Spectral Line. Hafenstadt Central is also one of the five stations serving the Hafenstadt Metro that links places within and near the classical city of Hafenstadt.

Future stations:

• Ostrana: A fantasy-themed castle and village complex with a scenic lake. It is known for its butterfly signs, which are installed in the complex's major buildings.
