What's up guys! Suppersyne here. And welcome to a brand new series of Transport fever let's play. It's named "let's industrialize Liangyang". Do you wonder why I’m starting this with a horse-drawn tram?.
Because I'm gonna narrate the extension of Liangyang railway history, as the full national history had already been uploaded onto Pastebin with the 1st link on the description section below.
I beg you pardon, my lady. Could you find someone to speak further?
Sure, Hugh will take on this. Suppersine has a sore throat, so I want you to speak for him.
As you wish, my lady.
Before the horse-drawn tram was available, the railway had been about 3000 miles long. Centred in Lakshmipura, it spanned westward to the town of Tannoy (天朗) and continued northwestward into the Ayravata basin in Plumbia to stop at Xiajun (虾郡), the mutual colonial capital of Pretenno-Liangyangese Plumbia, northward to Xingmai (星脉), source of the Binbin river (滨滨川), eastward to Lianzhou (莲州), next to the blue river (蓝河) and southward to Xiaobin (小宾).
The horse-drawn tram project started in Autumn 1842, when Her Majesty Queen Regnant Astrelle the 1st has decided to raise money to pay for opium war bonds. So she sold and scrapped 90% of her track mileage, including most of the rolling stock, to local tycoons, including mayors, from the town the railway had connected to.
In the late 1840s when newer coach designs made omnibuses outran horse-drawn trams, most local railcar businesses, to express loyalty towards the queen, donated railway track materials back to her. Consequently, in October 1848, HM the queen regnant issued a decree to re-develop the freight rail network, in an area of 50-mile-radius around Lakshmipura.
With Phra Ayomayamarga holding a military rank of colonel, he may use his troops, as well as unfreed slaves, as the labour force for this project.
The demilitarization of the railway was issued on June 2, 1850, to convert the national railway from an army unit to a state-owned firm. Phra Ayomayamarga was demoted - he is no longer a soldier. Nevertheless, he still governs the railway, and receive missions & quests from the queen.
At the start of 1850, since most of the newer Pretennian locomotive blueprints released after 1843 were expensive, the national railway was still running on older designs - most of them are Rockets, Patentees, Samsons, Buries and their derivatives.
Thanks a lot, Hugh. That’s enough for the intro. The objective is at the second link below. As I am flying to Taipei, Taiwan, for a Mandarin course, I will be back on Nov 27.
