New Los Angelosian refugees suggest not running the railroad during the country during a civil war.

No, let them build! Been a while since I've had a good show.

No problem gentlemen, It'll be mainly to link the national railway systems together and should cross into to many countries stopping at the borders to allow people to transfer to national company's. The trains will be composed of coaches that can switch gauge on the move with a range from meter gauge to Spanish broad gauge. So regardless of the gauge of your own railways their should be no problem with cargo transfer. I suggest that Conch railways trains detach at borders and allow your countries locomotives to take over the trains for their onward journeys and vice versa. How that sound to you lot.

We need to solve the problem that the tunnels might be targeted by terrorists and be bombed

Well's do what the normal railways do, electric fences alongside the railway tunnels and normal high barbwire topped metal fences alongside the mainline.

My company is a little late to the game, but we have used the extra time to patent, develop, and manufacture a groundbreaking railway technology, as follows:

Kinetic Energy Transmission System (KETS)
1. The technology being presented, hereby dubbed "KETS Slingshot", or simply "Slingshot", is a means of propulsion to compete and outbid the likes of coal, diesel, electric, maglev, etc.
2. "Slingshot" can be used on any type and size of track, over any length (including conventional, maglev, and vacuum-enclosed train routes)
3. "Slingshot" consists of an Initial Energy Transmittion Node (IETN), as well as strategic repeater stations (SRS) placed at regular intervals along routes.
4. The IETN is placed at every point of departure (i.e, every station) and consists of a massive bank of coil springs which the locomotive is loaded up against (by means of a springboard or linkage). When released, the aforementioned locomotive will propel forward along the track at incredible speed, gradually slowing down due to aerodynamic drag and wheel bearing inefficiencies.
5. The SRS's will "refill" or "top off" the locomotive's speed along its journey, to account for any speed lost due to aerodynamic drag and bearing friction/heating loss.
6. Upon arrival at the destination, the locomotive is decelerated by re-linking to a IETN in reverse, which absorbs any excess kinetic energy from the system and stores it for future launches.
7. While this technology has many benefits (no power source needed on board the locomotive, very fast speeds achieved, rapid acceleration and deceleration, etc), perhaps its KEY benefit over other technologies is the ability to manage the "energy" of the intended trip by imparting it in short bursts instead of consistent small supply of power throughout the trip.
8. Downsides include temporary sickness/disorientation experienced by passengers (forces similar to a rocket launch), and the need to install large, bulky infrastructure at terminals/stations.

My company has predicted a wide acceptance of this technology within the first few years, and has gathered sufficient capital funds to service three closely-linked nations in the conch kingdom region.
A set of bi-directional passenger and light/medium freight lines will be started, with possibility of expanding to large/heavy-duty freight service as soon as profits allow for larger launch infrastructure (IETN).
Pandogland being the parent nation of the company, is one of the 3 nations for whom initial service is planned.
Two partnerships are currently being sought.
Any interested nations should reply to this post immediately, as the negotiation window is drawing to a close.

To whomever you may be,

This technology seems to be better for cargo trains than for human transport. As such, until a time when it is tested to be a joyous experience, this technology must remain out of MomoCarlile. I do wish you the best of luck in your endeavors. May the spirits guide you.

How will the railroad be funded? Can someone draw the plan on the map?

The Railroad will be funded by my nation. For the Benefit of the conch kingdom, and I would love to find someone to put it on the map. As for the Kinetic accelerator tech it is to prohibitively expensive and besides the factory have already begun churning out steam engines and diesels by now so all time producing them would be wasted, sorry.
