| The '''elevated and subway rail systems''' of [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] as depicted in [[Grand Theft Auto III]] encompasses two ring lines, one elevated and one underground, which serves various portions of the city. Because the GTA III rendition of the city is reused in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], the railway systems remain virtually unchanged in the game, saved a few minor tweaks.
| | Refer to [[w:User blog:Kirkburn/Photo gallery launch|User blog:Kirkburn/Photo gallery launch]] for updates. |
|
| |
|
| Due to hardware constraints, the rail networks are absent in the [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]] rendition of the city.

| The network composes of two rail lines, one completely elevated with confined within [[Portland Island]], and one completely underground and connected to all three islands, or boroughs, of Liberty City. The Portland El and the subway are two separate, independent systems; as a result, there is no physical or official connection between the two services.
| |
|
| |
|
| The systems themselves are simply lines with two train tracks, but trains only travel counterclockwise along the inner lane with two out of three stations having only one platform for the functional side of the tracks.<!--At least for the elevated line--> This may suggest that there was originally two trains running in opposite directions, or may just have been put in for possible use by the player only.

| '''The Portland El''' (Portland Electric Line) is a [[Wikipedia:Rapid Transit|elevated train line]] that runs across [[Portland Island]], [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]].

|
| The Portland El was completed in 1930, and continued to run until at least [[2001]] (when [[Grand Theft Auto III]] took place). Much of the system, obviously, run on elevated tracks, although a very short stretch of the line at [[Saint Mark's]] does level itself to a near at-grade configuration against the district's slope.

| The Portland El has stations in [[Saint Mark's]], [[Hepburn Heights]], and on the edge of [[Chinatown, Liberty City|Chinatown]]. The three districts served by the Portland El network, in Grand Theft Auto III, belong to the [[Leone Family]], the [[Diablos]] and the [[Liberty City Triads|Triads]]. This is likely by design, and after leaving Portland in Grand Theft Auto III it becomes extremely dangerous to use the Portland El, as each gang is out to kill the player character.

| The Portland El has stations in [[Saint Mark's]], [[Hepburn Heights]], and on the edge of [[Chinatown, Portland Island|Chinatown]]; the stations are further assigned unique station names in GTA Liberty City Stories, as listed below. The three districts served by the Portland El network, in Grand Theft Auto III, belong to the [[Leone Family]], the [[Diablos]] and the [[Liberty City Triads|Triads]]. This is likely by design, and after leaving Portland in Grand Theft Auto III it becomes extremely dangerous to use the Portland El, as each gang is out to kill the player character.

| === Liberty City Subway === | |
| The '''Liberty City Subway''' is a fully underground rail line dispersed throughout all three of Liberty City's boroughs, serving as an interborough link. It provides convenient access to [[Francis International Airport, Shoreside Vale|Francis International Airport]] with a subway station at the complex.
| |
| | |
| ==== Stations ==== | |
| Stations along the subway line share close to the same entrance, concourse and platform designs, although there are a few distinctions due to the system using only one track for operational trains. All in all, there are four stations; one in [[Portland Island]], two in [[Staunton Island]], and one in [[Shoreside Vale]]:
