Mod:Fallout Dallas/Dallas Rapid Transit System



Dallas Rapid Transit System, or DRTS, was a transit system servicing the general Dallas area before the Great War.

Background
From 1956 to 1964, the Trailblazer monorail, the first commercially operated monorail system in the United States, ran as a novelty attraction at Fair Park. By 1959, the idea of using the monorail for larger-scale transit in Dallas was being given serious consideration.

In 1964, the Dallas Rapid Transit System was formed as a consolidation of older privately owned transit systems around Dallas. One of the main tasks of the newly formed DRTS was the construction of monorail lines as a new transit service; within a few years, the downtown area and its nearby surroundings were adequately covered by monorail service. Over the course of the next ninety years, periodic construction projects continued to stretch monorail lines further along into nearby suburbs and towns.

Despite the deprecated state of the monorail lines, the Brotherhood of Steel and Thinkers had repaired much of the system's downtown area lines to working condition by 2287. With the addition of Vault 45 to the Brotherhood's territory and arsenal in late 2287, previously-stalled repairs on the southwestern portions of the Red Line and Blue Line were finally completed by 2288.

Lines
The three main monorail lines active in Dallas by 2077 were the Red Line, Blue Line, and Green Line. By 2288, each line has been partially restored by the Brotherhood of Steel.
