Continental Railway of Darnolia
Purpose / Function
The railroad's purpose was plain and simple: To provide a more affordable form of efficient long-distance travel. Airship rides can be pretty pricey, Beige Beast buses can be slow at times, and owning a Forza wagon is just out of the question for many. The CRD provides a way for people to catch a ride in order to go to any sort of pre-determined destination.
The railway's major destinations are:
- Verska City, Valesco
- Thorcester City, Talimo
- Carlanos City, Cahaisten
- St. Selinka, Terlandia
- Keynsling City, Malistone
- Diolamus, Cordomo
- Lamenchal, Navistavul
- New Snovhit, Lyvelios
Architecture
The railways stretch many hundreds of miles long across Darnolia. It crosses through valleys and goes over certain bodies of water via stone bridges. The rails are built in doubles, allowing for trains to go to and from locations. Turntables and switchyards allow for trains and wagons to switch around in direction.
History
Ever since the invention of the Forza locomotive in 575, it was natural that the many inventors and builders of the lands would soon find a use for the new vehicle. And so, construction of the Continental Railroad of Darnolia commenced soon after. The building of this massive connection of rails was a joint collaboration between Thorcester City, Malistone, Cahaisten, Valesco, and Navistavul, taking a total of 4 years of constant work.
Many other parties also contributed greatly. Local dwarven populations supplied great amounts of iron in exchange for gold and Forza Crystals. Logging companies were contracted to lay down the wooden planks that the rails needed to lie on, and other contractors needed to give assistance in building bridges and switchyards.
