BarksBurg is the town in which the youtube series: Furry Friends In A Nutshell, takes place. According to Squirrel Toons, BarksBurg will be developed more and more as the show progresses. The town is said to be located somewhere near one of the coasts on Acorn Island, but an exact location hasn't been confirmed. as shown in the episode "technological threat" BarksBurg has a steady but rising and falling population of 8,0000. The coastal town has been shown to be very eco friendly but advanced despite its old fashioned look. some instances of this are that 99 percent of the cars that run in the city are electric even though the cars have a carbon based look. there are said to be over 958 air filters in the city that cleanse the air and carbon dioxide that the steam engines produce. The town has gone through many names historically such as "DustRock" during the western era, "CavernHollow" during the old era, and "WindCove" during the sea era.

## Economy

The town has been shown to be very financially well, and consists of many various different businesses, including restaurants, stores, and manufacturers.

There are even stadiums, amusement parks, and other recreational facilities such as CogsWorth.

## Location

BarksBurg's exact pinpoint location is unknown. but what is known is that the town is somewhere on the west-south coast of Acorn Island. Evidence of this is that in the episode "Moonshot" james's space ship is seen flying from the west-south coast of Acorn Island. In the episode "Chain Reaction" a nuke is seen flying towards the westt-south coast. In the 2030 special, when tom sings the song "More more more" the camera zooms out on the west-south coast of Acorn Island. And when Tom sings the song "I want home" a bucket of slack spills on the ground, forming a puddle shaped like acorn island with the word "home" and an arrow pointed at the west-south coast of Acorn Island!

An odd thing is that in the comic "Bathtime" Luke says that he knows its a free country. it is unknown exactly what the name of this country is.

cylinder houses seem to mostly be made up of metal and whatever stuff gets imported from goods trains that run in and out of the town. These houses are tall and cylinder shaped, every one always has atleast one exhaust pipe somewhere on them. It is unknown exactly what these pipes do but it is most likely a vent pipe for the plumbing.

## Trivia

2. Most of BarksBurgs railways are narrow gauge and steam powered. There is said to only be an estimated 3 standard gauge lines, and only 2 diesel engines in the town. The town is also said to only have 1 mainline exit by rail and 1 other exit that has been long abandoned leading to an unkown area.

5. The Narrow Den CO Mining Division is said to be haunted by a ghost train that only appears at midnight and midday. This haunting was caused by a mining accident at the mine, when a 0-6-2 tender engine was reported pulling a slate train with a whopping 24 mining carts on a rickety bridge. The bridge couldn't stand the weight and collapsed with the locomotive on it. The tender engine tumbled down the the mountain with the tender snapping off the previously thought "indestructible" drawbar coupling and landed in a cow pasture. The engine wasn't so lucky, said locomotive landed in the ocean, exploding afterwards. the only car that wasn't destroyed was the brake van which housed a workman. The driver was found unconscious nearby. Even worse was that the accident was caused by the driver's carelessness as he was reading a newspaper while driving! That line was shut down after and now most engines are created with an awareness of their surroundings and self driving capabilities.
