A Rail of One City is an event-exclusive questline in The Simpsons: Tapped Out. It was introduced in the Monorail content update.

After starting the update
	This town is filthy! We built all these dumpsters and garbage cans, but no way to empty them.
	I used to lure in customer with the smell of hot dogs.
	But the stench of week-old decaying meat... it just can't compete with the smell of all this trash.
	I used to be able to find my house on account of all the trash piled up in front of it. But now that's every house.
	I got no idea which one is mine. I've been wandering around on the streets for weeks.
	We all have, Cletus.
	We need to build the town dump.
	Good idea, sweetie. Is there room right next to Flanders' house?
Task: "Build Springfield Dump". It takes 6 seconds.
Quest reward: 100 and 10

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark
	Okay, we've got a place to put our trash. Now we just have to get it there.
	What about a garbage truck?
	No. Even if we built one it wouldn't move. What we need are garbage men.
	According to the government roster that's, er-ah, you.
	Me?
	Yes, you're the town's Sanitation Commissioner.
	I vaguely remember being that but didn't I lose that job, or give it back or something in the end?
	No, it ended with you destroying the whole town and us having to rebuild it.
	That DOES sound familiar.
Task: "Make Homer Pick Up Trash". The job takes place at Springfield Dump and takes 30 seconds.
Quest reward: 100 and 10

After tapping on Lyle Lanley's exclamation mark
	Excuse me, good people! But have you ever thought about building a monorail in this town?
	We have and we did. You sold it to us and it bankrupted our town.
	Really? Well then, where is it?
	Nowhere now. The town got destroyed and we had to rebuild it.
	Twice now apparently!
	Well maybe I can convince you to buy another, with an elaborate song and dance!
	Woo-hoo!
	Not so fast, Sanitation Commissioner. That dump still needs stuff dumped in it.
	Woo-hoo.
	Everyone else, join us for the monorail musical! It looks like it might rain, though, so let's do it inside.
Task: "Make Lyle Lanley Put on a Musical Extravaganza". The job takes place at the Town Hall or a Brown House and takes 30 seconds. Task: "Make Springfielders Join in the Musical Extravaganza" (x3). The jobs take place at the Town Hall or a Brown House and take 30 seconds. Task: "Make Homer Pick Up Trash". The job takes place at Springfield Dump and takes 30 seconds.
	That was amazing! The songs, the choreography, all those celebrity cameos...
	A hologram of Dr. Dre sang a duet with Dr. Dre!
	Sorry you missed it, Homer. And anyone else who couldn't see inside Town Hall/Brown House.
	I stabbed my foot with the pointy stick while picking trash
Quest reward: 100 and 10

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark
	It's decided. We'll raise the money to build a monorail!
	Great, I can help fundraise! I'm really good at getting people to part with their money. Just ask Sky Finger.
	I suppose you COULD join us. Or...
Task: "Make Springfielders Raise Money for the Monorail" (x3). The jobs take place at the Town Hall or a Brown House and take 30 seconds. Task: "Make Homer Pick Up Trash". The job takes place at Springfield Dump and takes 30 seconds.

Next Quest: Same as it Ever Was

←	Previous Quest: Same as it Ever Was

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark
	That's it! This cool monorail story is going on, with people appearing and disappearing, and all I'm doing is picking up trash!
	If I have to pick up one more rivet-
	Wait, did you say rivet? Those were on the list of supplies we needed to build the monorail.
	I bet if we collected enough junk around town, we could get all the supplies we needed for the monorail.
	So you're saying that picking up trash is now important to the story?
	Yes, and you're the Sanitation Commissioner. Is there anything we can do in exchange for your help?
	Yes. Make me the monorail conductor.
	I'm tired of being a glorified garbage man. I want to be a glorified bus driver!
Task: "Gather Junk Around Springfield" (x150). Task: "Make Homer Not Have To Pick Up Trash". The job takes place at Moe's Tavern or the Simpson House and takes 30 seconds.
Quest reward: 100 and 10

Next Quest: Train of Fools

←	Previous Quest: Train of Fools

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark
	Now that we've got the materials for the monorail, we just need someone to oversee its construction.
	Don't look at me. I've already got two jobs.
	Ahem-glaven... as the closest thing this town has to an engineer, I would be happy to--
	Did someone call for an engineer?
	What? No! I'm the egghead around here. What kind of engineer even are you anyway?
	A monorail construction engineer.
	sigh Hoyvin.
	I can get your monorail operational. But first I'm going to need more finely-honed monorail parts.
	Um... so far we've just been collecting junk.
	That should work too.
Message	Hand in resources at the Project Board and help Sebastian Cobb build the Monorail!
Task: "Place the Project Board". Task: "Complete Projects on the Project Board" (x3).
Message	Way to go! Remember to hand in Projects every day for huge bonus rewards!
Quest reward: 100 and 10

After completing Pt. 6
	Hey guys, what if we sorted our trash first? It could really improve what we're doing for the environment.
	BOO!!!
	BOO!!!
	BOO!!!
	Hmm, the girl does have a point.
	Separated-out metal could be quickly and easily manufactured into components. And that would save us money.
	YAY!!!
	YAY!!!
	YAY!!!
	Now that's the kind of green this town can get behind!
	Whatever.
Task: "Place the Metal Depot". It takes 6 seconds. Task: "Sort Through Junk to Find Metal" (x20).
Quest reward: 100 and 10

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark
	This recycling thing isn't so hard. Let's see... batteries are cans full of battery acid.
	And motor oil is pretty much just liquid plastic.
	And these glowing radioactive plutonium rods from the nuclear plant are... hmm, let's call them paper.
	Dad! You can't put that stuff in the recycling. Or the trash, for that matter.
	Then what I am supposed to do with it?
Task: "Dump Garbage on Friends" (x3).
Quest reward: 100 and 10

The quest name is a reference to the Charles Dickens novel A Tale of Two Cities.
