The Lunen Island Main Line is the principal trunk line for the Lunen Island, the second island of the New Ingrean archipelago. The line begins at Port Bently on the southern coast of the island and ends at the town of Axport on the island's north-western tip. Along the way, the railway passes through the city of Lunenborough, and the major towns of Simpkinwold, Cape Haeckling, and Kahukura.
