Tram system

The tram system is a form of automated passenger transportation that moves players between six stations placed around the facility. It is partially inspired by the Black Mesa Transit System.

Sector A Sublevel (Station 1)
This station is connected to the Lower Atrium in Sector A, and is the only station to be officially placed in this sector of the facility. It is one of two stations without platform screen doors (due to complications on the location of the emergency exits) and is a medium-sized station with seating and a water fountain.

Area description: "This area (and the entirety of Level 1) is dedicated to the operation of the CVRF geothermal power plant to supply power to the facility and its many experiments."

Nearby Locations
 * Turbine Hall
 * Maintenance Wing (Sector B)



Cargo Bay (Station 2)
This station is technically on Level 1, but provides direct access to the Cargo Bay using an elevator and stairwell. It is unique in its curved design, and is one of two stations without platform screen doors (due to the complications introduced by this curved design). It is a fairly small station.

Area description: "The primary artery for receiving cargo from the surface. Also a location to temporarily store resources before they are distributed."

Nearby Locations
 * Cargo Bay
 * Sector C West Hall
 * Sector C East Hall



Security Checkpoint (Station 3)
This is the smallest station along the tram line, primarily because of its low-traffic destination in the freight tunnel security checkpoint. Riders exiting this station will take an elevator up to the checkpoint on the outgoing side. For authorized personnel such as Security and the Overseer, this also provides access to Sector D and a maintenance hall connecting the two sides of Sector C somewhat nearby.

Area description: "The checkpoint securing the freight elevator entrance, the largest access point into the underground sections of the CVRF."

Nearby Locations
 * Freight Checkpoint
 * Sector D
 * Sector C Maintenance Hall
 * Topside Emergency Stairwell



Sector C East (Station 4)
This is a large station serving the eastern half of Sector C.

Area description: "The eastern half of CVRF's Sector C, a location for various laboratories of different functions and fields of study."

Nearby Locations
 * Sector C East Hall
 * Sector B
 * Headcrab Parasitology Lab
 * Clone Lab



Sector E Materials (Station 5)
This is a large station serving Sector E. This is also (as of Beta 0.15) the northernmost part of the facility, and is the only station with direct access to bathrooms.

Area description: "This sector supports labs focused on research in materials sciences, and also serves as an overflow locations for new labs if space becomes low in Sector C."

Nearby Locations
 * Sector E
 * Sector B



Sector C West (Station 6)
This is a large station providing access to the western half of Sector C. It is also in close proximity to the southernmost point of Sector E as it transitions into the Sector C hall, and is also where the transit office that operates the tram line is located.

Area description: "The western half of CVRF's Sector C, a location for various laboratories of different functions and fields of study. The west hall also connects to Sector E."

 * Sector C West Hall
 * Sector E
 * Transit Office
 * Genetics Lab

Admin controls
Certain authorized users (the overseer, private server owners and admins, developers, etc) have access to commands and controls in the transit office to manipulate the tram. They can be manipulated with the "tram" command. Here is a list of parameters:
