I saw this achievement and beyond doing something silly, like building a 100 track loop and riding around it 10 times, I have a grander idea... One that will need help from everyone else.

I want to build a track 1,000 meters long in the Wild. Not a loop, but a track that all can ride and take part in constructing it. Obviously we have to wait till the next refresh of the Mining world before we embark on this project. It will require powered track portions for going up hills or a powered mine cart. But once constructed, it's one of your achievements that you can cross off, and it would provide a service to get to portions of the Mining world map that take forever to walk.

So, what do you think sirs?

this is actually a great idea. i can donate several stacks of cart rails from abandoned mineshafts. i have a ton of minecarts also from abandoned mineshafts, they're all chest carts so i'll have to turn them back into normal carts and use the chests for storage. or we could use the chest carts for a giant item shipping thing. that chest carts shipping thing was just inspired by the "rob the train" thing. lol

No use building anything like that in the mining world. It will be griefed before you even finish it probably. If it somehow doesn't end up getting griefed of course it will be gone after the mining world reset. Wouldn't mind doing this in the wilderness world if someone has some spare money to buy the plots. 

That sounds about right. But isn't there an issue with two chunks abutting each other in the wild?

And then I found out that Gotham Town has a really long rail track already. However, after riding it for a while the achievement never kicked in. I wonder if it has to be continuous ride with no stops?

you have to go 1km away from the block you started on. not 1km total.

so it would have to be in a straight line ?
