USFD objects to the Trans-Conchintental Railway due to massive prices and dangerous, long building of the tunnels. plus; the airline and ship industries would get destroyed due to the railways

The Fleet of oceans patented track builders (Laying 5 miles of track a day in good conditions), have already begun construction of the route between Thuron,Skout and magers. The routes are mainly to supplement and not replace the planes and ships. Besides I hold a large merchant fleet myself I don't want it going bust.

USFD Railway committee presents: "Hybrid electric-diesel Train!" It uses the diesel engine when not running and stores electricity to use during the trip! and if it runs out of juice; it can switch to auxiliary power and use the diesel engine on the rest of the trip.

I'd like to propose the Coal burning environmentally friendly 4-8-2 Donald class express steam engine. This engine takes into account new advances in steam locomotive technology and use 25% of the thermal efficiency of the coal being burned compared to 5% with normal trains. It can pull up to 1500ton passenger trains at a cruising speed of 135mph of a burst speed of 145mph for 20 minutes. It has automatic firing and morning start up is done by robots decreasing labor costs and reduce the crew to just one, the driver. It has carbon scrubbers to reduce the carbon emissions and any excess steam which is unused in fed back into a special condensing chamber in the tender to be turned back into steam to be used again. It can travel nonstop at 135mph for 500 miles. It looks like this http://nebula.wsimg.com/ee1df54a1178a82d8b29e69eb72b8c8b?AccessKeyId=4AA3DA9671F24A52FEF6&disposition=0&alloworigin=1

To the Fleet of the Oceans: What is the proposed route? Personally, I'd suggest beginning by heading into Conch Kingdom and Thuron, the later of which will pass into New Los Angelos, United States of Freedom and Death, Skout, Magers, and Racoon Republic. What is your plans for other branches, and areas across the Atlantic and Pacific?
