Novacian Railway Company

The Novacian Railway Company, origionally the Pells-Ker Iron & Steamworks and Montgomery Plateway is the Railway of the Novacian state. Unlike Union Rail, Commonwealth Rail, or Iarnród Garmanach, the NRC is not state owned; it is a monopoly owned by a private company based in Pells-Ker.
The Modern NRC came to be after the merger of the original NRC and the New Valarian Railroad Company, the last holdout independent railroad in the country, in 318KOR. NRC operates 1,114 steam engines across the country, most of which are industrial or military tank engines. The NRC controls about 5% of continental rail traffic, and rarely allows foreign trains into its system. Commonwealth Rail has four transfer stations with the NRC (three in the mainland, one in St. Laurent) and three transfer stations with the Iarnród Garmanach. The NRC owns a 35% stake in the Laviton Railway Company, and has no control over the military railroads on Kentenvaden and Tahouet.
The Company held a contest allowing students from across the republic to design a modern logo in 333. Finalists were selected by the board and then finalized with a national telephone voting campaign. The winner caused a scandal, with many criticizing it's overly simple modern design.
