Inter-Continental Craudoan Railways

Drighton and Ocli have a well-developed rail network. Berusferg's is creaky and uncomfortable and Kluatau's is okay at best. This page lists down the railways that connect the four countries and out-beyond.

The Drighton - Kluatau Railway runs from Drighton's Grenner Terminal to Kluatau's Dek Bedriah Terminal. Both terminals, often located at the end of their respective country's line, hold freight yards spanning (give or take) 1,729 miles. The line was opened in 1948 during the height of the Kluatau - Drighton Relations.

The Drighton - Kluatau Railway, also known as the *Drighton- Kluatau Government Railway* or *Drish - Klut Railway* at various times, was constructed between 1945 and 1951 under the supervision of Somering Lane, the General Manager of the Federated Drighton States Railway and was opened from the Kluatauan Terminus in Dek Bedriah to Grenner in two sections, De Bedroma to Bankyt on the 15th November 1947 and Bankyt to Grenner on 10th April 1948. An extension line was then created to Henting in 1951 due to high demand.

The Drighton - Kluatau Government Railway opened its first line from Dek Bedriah to Bankyt, a distance of 802 miles, on 15th November 1948. The line was extended from Bankyt to Grenner in 1949. As it was not feasible to make an end-on connection this line would branch off from the line to Bankyt just to the south of the Grenner station and goods yard. To avoid the necessity of trains having to reverse into the station a new station was planned 26 chains further south. The new station opened when the first section of the extension opened to Henting at the end of 1949.

## Architecture

The architecture of the stations on the DKR mainly consist of Victorian/gothic styled buildings, usually triple or double track.

## The Tetrad War

During the Tetrad War, the railway was used extensively for transporting military vehicles, bombs, munitions and weapons. The line had to be cut short as the terminal at Dek Bedriah had been bombed during the war by Ocli, so they had to stop at a nearer station until Ocli had invaded half of Kluatau, which Drighton had to stop transporting the weapons. There was an accident where an Oclian fighter plane had mistaken a Drish express train with a munitions train, and shot it.

## Incidents

On the 3rd of November 1949, an elderly man fell asleep on a bench at Kialt station while waiting for a train, and a signal man later discovered the man had died.

On the 7th of September 1951, a man named William Gold crashed his car into the railway gate at the crossing near Pask station. A car wheel went over the foot of the gatekeeper who was later admitted to hospital.

On the 9th of January 1953, an Oclian fighter plane had mistaken a Drish express train with a munitions train and shot it. Nobody had died but many were injured.

On the 20th of December 1961, a Drish express engine fell into the river between Kluatau and Drighton, with 90 dying.

Ocli is famous for their Advanced Passenger Trains (APT), which were gifted by the British during the early 80's. This railway stretches out around the entire country, even branching out into some of Ocli's islands, even (after heavy pressuring by Ocli) into Kluatau. After a few months passengers felt queasy and sick during the rides, but after intense development the commuters eased.

The railway into Kluatau was opened before the war in 1948, due to political pressure from Ocli. They had stated that since a railway to Drighton was made, it would've been wise to open up one to Ocli. Since Berusferg did not have an extensive railway at the time, Kluatau's only option was Ocli.

The line runs from the capital of Ocli's third province Gialeno, making occasional stops at small rivers for water treatment in Kluatau. The border crossing is located between Fefert and Balconah, and continues into Dek Bedriah and terminates at Siegbir.
