Overview

The outmoded railway system you encounter here runs through the oldest districts of Rapture. Built by Prentice Mill in the city’s early days, the Atlantic Express was once the Rapture populace’s primary mode of transport. After the introduction of the Rapture Metro system of personal bathyspheres, the Atlantic Express fell out of favor and went bankrupt. The tracks remain largely intact, if disused.

The Atlantic Express Maintenance Depot was home to the drafting offices of the train company’s brilliant mechanical engineers, as well as an enormous switching roundhouse and a central station for passengers headed to all points on the Express’s train lines.
