Eastern Blue Railway

Eastern Blue Railway Ltd is a railway company which operates between Pembleton and Coltar. The company is famous for being the first and oldest privately run railway company in the world, as well as being a cause of the 'Smokepipe' legal dispute (UC vs Guild of Miners 81 H.S.) which resulted in the formation of the Guild of Steamworkers, the forebear to today's Worshipful Company of Railway Workers. 
== Early Years and Malcolm Tavistock ==
The railway company was founded in 335 BGE by the then-investment banker and philanthropist Malcolm Tavistock. In 346 BGE, Tavistock had been sent by his employer, Merchant and Public Bank, to investigate plans by the Guild of Miners to construct the first section of the Grand Trunk Railway between Pembleton and Walden, in the hopes of investing.  
Being the first attempt to build a practical cross-country railway, the investment was rejected as too risky, despite Tavistock's praise of it. Ultimately the Pembleton-Walden line was funded directly by the Undercourt. However, the enterprise made a great impression on him.
