The Lucek Memorial Line (shortly LML or LM) is a long-distance railway line, originally built as a single track railway line in March and April 2018 by ParrotAntics, with the help of AlphaSkyRaider and KrebsLovesFiesh, connecting eastern parts of Eston Post with further eastern lands, intended to provide access for players to future construction sites in Regions 5 and 6. Travelling through the entire line takes approximately 30 minutes*.
The name of the line was chosen to commemorate StudioLucek44, the first well known Polish Unterganger, who was making Downfall parodies in between 2007 and 2019.
History[]
Originally, it ran through various altitudes, and most of the route consisted of underground passages in 3x3 cuboid tunnels. Crossing rivers or lakes were possible due to 3-blocks wide stone and stone brick bridges with cross-shaped pillars. The initial (L1 - L7) part of the line was mostly powered by redstone blocks instead of torches (used between the first station and first major turn), which was criticized by other players. Between L6 and L7 stations and on the section between L9 and L11 stations it was a single-track line powered by torches. From April to May the line went through its first upgrade, where 1-track sections were replaced by 2-track sections, and all pass-through stations, originally built as 1-track, had been rebuilt to a form of turnouts.
All station buildings (except terminal stations and a few other pass-through stations) were shaped in a cuboid form with glass ceiling and water tubs on the rows. Redstone lamps were placed on the floor, except the platforms, which were made of stone, wood or terracotta. All station entrances (except L1 and L7) were blocked by gates and opened by pressure plates.
The vast majority of the line was rebuilt by Sanostonburg Railway Authority (Ugultu) with permission of ParrotAntics. There

Alongside with terminal stations, the line consisted of 20 stations. Due to chunk regeneration of 19th and 20th station area only 18 stations were operational up to 2019, the last station is under construction. Wolfpine station was closed in late November 2019 for rebuilding to allow the construction of platforms for Vulcan Railways. It reopened shortly afterwards. Plans are afoot to replace the former section from Dinnertime to Dorklich with an extension to the Treno Auditore Line.

Trivia[]
- Ugultu stole generic viaduct design from RTN.
- Station names are mostly based on English translations of Polish phrases and titles used in Lucek's parodies.
- Breakthrough is literal translation of Wyłom, a title of Lucek's short film satire on Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement and Polish political system, released in 2012.
- English counterpart of Polish phrase warchlak is piglet.
- Jollyfish station was to be named Jolly Fish (pol. Wesoła Rybka, translation to English based on Jolly Roger term), but it was changed after Krebs' intervention of sign tables placement.
- Basilisk (pol. Bazyliszek) was meant to be a translation of Jaszczur (lit. eng. The Lizard), a nickname given by Polish Untergangers to Joseph Goebbels.
- Uterus is a reference to favourite Lucek's parody Goebbels' meal - an uterus, served on many ways (cooked, roasted, used as pizza ingredient, etc).
- The exceptions in this naming are for example: Yellowsubmarine (derived from the title of The Beatles' song), Tarrantia (named after Chris Tarrant, the first host of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? game show), Syncope (incorrectly derived from a musical term syncopation), Chicktato (loosely based on Vj Dominion's song Tuskotronic), Tobruk (one of major Libyan cities) and Analdeva (next station anal devastation).
- Originally, the line consisted of 7 stops, but after short discussion, ParrotAntics decided to extend the line to 20 stops, and Krebs rebulit the Basilisk into a pass-through station.
- Due to AlphaSkyRaider's demand, Dorklich terminal station was located 10515 blocks east from point zero (0x 0z). Same decision is to be made with main station of Falkenheim.
- KrebsLovesFiesh built a variant of the line, that serves as an express line, having lower amount of stops. This variant is finished and originally consisted of 7 total stops with a terminus at the Mesa biome beyond Dorklich. In August 2018 it was shortened to Dinnertime, and even further, to Tarrantia, in November.
- Double signage of the line is a result of misunderstanding between ParrotAntics and Ugultu about overall look of the line's emblems: Parrot preferred round signs done with vector graphics, while Ugultu opted for rectangular pixel-art-like raster graphics along with red for colour code.
