SARTRE, the Shirekeep Area Rapid Transit Railway Express, established in 1576 [AN] was once the best way to travel Shirekeep quickly for tourists and citizens alike. Travelling alternately above and below ground its four lines (the Station line to the north, the Brookshire Line to the west, the Landsraad Line to the east, and the Malarbor Line to the south) included stations only minutes away from all of Shirekeep's major attractions. Every third car was kept empty, to symbolize the crushing emptiness of modern life.
As an operating transport network the SARTRE ceased operations during the Green Mortality of 1602. Subsequently abandoned, stripped of its rails and wiring by scrap-metal merchants and infested with colonies of Deep-Singers, the SARTRE was belatedly repaired by Prefect Shyriath during work on what would later become the Underkeep. Subsequent damage during the 1st and 2nd Sieges of Shirekeep and the flooding caused by the collapse and backing up of the city's ancient network of sewers, cesspits and catacombs resulted in the entirety of the SARTRE being rendered inoperable by the year 1645 AN.
