The Railway

United Meridian Railroad Company

The Tracks are Ours to Govern

As a great serpent protects its hoard, so too does the Railroad preserve the continuity of inheritance and tradition. Assimilate or be crushed under the indomitable wheel of industry. Forwards is the one true path. Derailment is the highest crime.

Who are the Conductors?


True stewards of the railroad understand that there is no other god than he whose breath is steam. Anything less than faith in the engine and full embracement of its heat, spells a short tenure for anyone seeking its stewardship.

The railroad finds itself balanced between equal parts theater and industry. The performance required of its conductors must transmute pedestrian to passenger. The precision promised by its engineers fulfill its manifest. Every cog has its place in the machine, its purpose in the grand enterprise.

Through careful conservatorship of grants and licenses by its Principal Directrix, United Meridian rises as the preeminent holder of Loom County’s railroad charter. The frozen-stuck wheels of its hibernating locomotives will thaw, and as their fireboxes hint at ignition, so commence the season of smoke and steel.

The fleet’s blistering voracity for coal demands sacrifice. Sacrifice begets profit.
