Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Well after over a year and a half of speculation and teasing the Monorail is FINALLY in Springfield! An actual working Monorail that you can design yourself…so no two will look alike! Pretty awesome event!
Of course with an all new event you know that means an all new questline to conquer. This event, like ones in the past, are broken up into Acts. There are three total Acts for the Monorail Event and during the First Act the questline will guide you through the basics of how to play the Monorail Event. The questline will walk you through what you need to do as long as you’re patient and follow along (in otherwords don’t go ahead thinking you know what’s coming, cause you’ll get stuck).
So let’s get to tappin’ shall we?

What are your thoughts on the Monorail Event? How are you progressing so far? Questline guiding you or are you getting stuck? Thoughts on the idea of building the Monorail Track how you want to? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
nope , nothing has changed
i m stuck at Rail Of One City pt.6 whereas i cant trade 20 blueprints to unlock metal depot , i have the rail yard , but whenever i open the project board , i find everything completed , still i have nothing to click https://postimg.org/image/a8tjpudl1/
You may have to wait for the weekly rollover to happen on Tuesday…sorry.
Okay… So my Springfield dump, recycle/bottle dept are all full it says to go to the project board thing is I’m not been able to find that… So can someone help me with that..? Please and thanks
You need the Rail Yard
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/09/09/monorail-event-the-rail-yard/
I had the same problem so emailed EA Games, they placed the project bored into my inventory for me so I was able to continue x
Since the monorail has ended I don’t have a project board so everything stays full and no way to empty dump,plastic, glass, and metals so what do I do with it all
You need the Rail Yard. If you don’t have it there’s nothing you can do with the items…
How do you get a rail yard
If you don’t already have it, there’s currently no way to get it.
I have been stuck on day 2 for monorail pieces at the rail yard. I have over 16000 and it only requires 15000 to progress to day 3 but still not unlocking. Any suggestions or should I jut wait until resets next week?
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/09/16/common-bugsglitches-since-monorail-removal-update-hit/
My trash is full. Metal and plastic recycling full my project board won’t click. When u click on the plants it tells me to go to the project board to turn things in, but it’s like I can’t select it anymore. Suggestions???
The project board no longer works because the Monorail Event is over. The only place to turn things in now is the Rail Yard if you have it
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/09/09/monorail-event-the-rail-yard/
I don’t have the rail yard 🙁
For each monorail, there are 2 staircases. Where do you put the second one if it has the same position(s) as the first one? I’d like to balance out each side of the station, but can’t. Anyone else running into this problem?
I do not have the project board for 2 weeks already! How can I get it? I wrote to EA guys but the did not answer anything about it.
It comes via the questline. If you’re having trouble getting it, despite following the questline, the only thing we can tell you to do is contact EA. Try the phone call option or live chat.
I really need some help… I’m on rails of one city pt 5 and it’s telling me to gather junk x 150 but my junk yard is full and I’ve got no way of emptying it or recycling it yet !! HELP!!!
You should have waited until you unlocked the project board to max it out. Now the only thing you can do is contact EA and let them know what happened, they can try to rollback your game to when it wasn’t maxed out.
Since act 2 update, my game crashes a lot. I click on a building it may crash, it crashes anout 50% of time when i try to collect garbage from the landfill or assign people to collect garbage. Also crashes frequently when i try to tap the possums….. what can i do? Not tapping on garbage/possums is not an option.

Then you are looking for here…

Hello,
I am so sad because I missed pretty much all of act one of this event. I don’t even think I will be able to get the monorail station, let alone all the pieces for it. Do you think that I will be able to get or even purchase the track pieces even after act 2 starts? I am really hoping because this is one of my favorite simpson episodes of all time.
Track pieces will be available in act 2
You can pay donuts to get it, I can’t find online how much it’d be but yeah.
Just tap on your game and go to the Act One tab to see the buy out cost.
My monorail isn’t moving and there’s smoke coming out of it. Please help!😔
Work on the Rage against the rail questline…
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/08/19/one-word-plastics-turbo-tappin-rage-against-the-rail-plastic-depot-info/
I can’t buy more plans, I’m in the final stage to get the character but my buttons are grey and don’t let me buy more plans can someone help plz
Are you maxed out for the day? Does it say come back tomorrow at the bottom?
The part that you can do to earn doughnuts made me start over before I finished part 1. Other than that I like the new update.
Devastated….even though I play this game everyday it only just told me there was an update… which means I have three days to try and get all the act 1 prizes so already resigning myself to that not happening 🙁
My monorail won’t move? Just has black smoke coming out of it?? Help!!
It’s part of the new tasks for the Plastic Depot. Once you get through it all, your monorail will be back in action.
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/08/19/one-word-plastics-turbo-tappin-rage-against-the-rail-plastic-depot-info/
Same!
I’ve reached the stage after getting Ray Paterson and am earning track but the first piece was straight (long) and the second was curved.
Was hoping for just straight pieces…
This may be a dumb question but….
Besides recycling, how do I “spend” garbage cans when the yard is full? It takes an hour to sort through trash and cans accumulate so quickly!
Suggestions? Thanks!
Project Board and Recycling. That’s it.
I haven’t seen anything here (or anywhere on the Internet) about how to get additional monorail trains and additional monorail cars. This seems like something that might should be included in the main post about the Monorail update.
Briefly:
Each station will generate its own monorail train, unless they are connected together by tracks. If connected, stations will share a single monorail train.
Each initial monorail consists of two end cars and one passenger compartment. Every 10 segments of connected track (not including the 3 segments on the station platform itself) will add one additional passenger compartment, to a maximum of four (or possibly six (“genuine, bona fide, electrified, six-car monorail!) ).
Too bad there’s no switching (point) tracks or crossing tracks (for figure 8 loops)!
That is because Glitches and massive issues preventing players from even Accessing the game and being able to play as intended were more important at the time then posting about “how to get more cars”. Not to mention we still have a month of content to go on this Event. PLENTY more posts coming. If you would like to take your personal time and energy and write every single post needed for all the content within days of it’s release, by all means… be our guest. Otherwise… patience. Once the MAIN issues are covered, the ins and outs will trickle in too. We are barely a week in the Event. Just sayin. 😉
Apologies! My post had a tone that was not at all intended.
I was not trying to suggest that y’all weren’t doing an amazing job. The extra car info seemed it might be of interest to others, since it was to me, but I understand that the glitch situation takes priority.
(Also apologies for the double post. After I hit post, it made me log in to WordPress, and then I couldn’t find my original post. I thought it had been lost.)
Seriously, y’all are amazing, and this site is an incredible resource.
When I try to tap on the building where a neighbor has “left garbage” it causes the game to crash. 🙁 Any advice?
3 options…try storing and replacing the building. See if that helps clear it out. Or don’t tap on that building. Or contact EA.
All I know is that I rely on TSTOADDICTS because I can’t rely on EA (too many glitches in a 3 year old Game App, not enough quality Customer Service, those Reps who are helpful deserve a pay raise!)
I cant place lisas recycling plant anywhere. It keeps moving my screen to the far left. I have read it needs to be on the shoreline. I have lots of free land on the shoreline but cant place it still. Any ideas?
What shoreline? It can only be Springfield side. Not Heights. It’s almost all set out into Squidport and beach area. Only a few squares on the green. Like 3. So make sure no boardwalk tiles in Squidport area, nothing on beach like a teeny flower or bush, nothing on the green 8 spaces across.
I keep trying To buy the little Lisa recycling plant, but it won’t let me place it anywhere! Anyone else had this problem or any tips to resolve it?
Thanks
It needs to be in an empty area along the shoreline.
It needs to be placed in an empty area along the shoreline/beach with the ramp part in the water.
Does anyone know how much blueprints it costs to get Ray Patterson? The last prize in Act 1?
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/08/12/monorail-calendar-act-one/
89350!!! On the last leg to get him
now 😊
Anyone have any pictures of their Monorail. I have about seven tracks and stairs and other pieces. Trying to figure how to connect it all.
Need to make monorail capable of going from land to the beach and water if possible.
It can’t go in the ocean
Would be cool if after event residents had a task to ride the monorail for cash & xp. Who knows.
I can’t get my mono rail to start. It keeps asking for 7 more pieces. What have I done wrong?
Did you connect them to the tracks from the station? How many pieces do you have?
Doh! I didn’t have my track fastened to the station! I’ll go and clean my glasses. Thanks.
Hi,
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I can’t seem to find the project board anywhere. Didn’t get it, can’t buy it, thus I can’t recycle. It’s a bit frustrating, tbh. What am I doing wrong?
Others are reporting the issue too. Can you email me a screenshot of what you are seeing in the tasks trying to get it?
I don’t know what to make a screenshot of. I don’t get the building at all (I assume it’s a building?), nor do I get the recycling tasks. I can only fill the dump… That’s it. I don’t even know what exactly I’m looking for or what I would have to do. I’m just… Stuck?
It is a part of your Questline. Your main monorail one. Where are you on that? What part #? You can’t place the Project Board without getting to the part to trigger it.
Ah! I see. I am going to check that out. I might have tried to go too fast. Haven’t had a prompt in a while, so maybe I neglected a quest. Am feeling a wee bit silly now. Sorry for the bother
No bother at all… It is why we are here. Happy to help. 😉
Yup! Found out what I did wrong! I somehow missed Homer on his last quest (he was at the bottom and I failed to scroll down far enough)
I’m such a numpty!!
Thanks again
Glad it was simple. 😉
