Map of Berellian Railways’s 5th district, which mainly handles aggregates, potash, and grain trains.
Tensions between Dertinia and Sondia have once again escalated into a minor war, and all railway construction in Sondia has been temporarily halted. Meanwhile, over on the Kasversas, rail construction contractors have been hard at work.
Berellia is a rather small country, on North Kasversa. Its recently nationalized railway system carries mostly heavy bulk loads, like coal, iron ore and potash. Photographer Maria Pierce traveled to Berellia to document ongoing revitalization of the nation’s trunk lines.
A rather famous cutting on the 5th district, looking northwest.
The last bridge over the Persephone river before intersecting the 1st division and hitting Blackrock, the second-largest city in Berellia.
Berellia, the capitol of Berellia. These tracks are those of BER’s 2nd district, which parallel the city’s old business district. The skyscrapers of downtown can be seen in the distance, along with the 1st division mainline.
A wye which connects the 1st district with the 2nd passes under the 1st division. BER divides their trackage into two groups; districts, which are lower-traffic, older, usually single-track lines, and divisions, which link Berellia (the capitol) with other large cities and the surrounding countries.
The 1st district passing through the old industrial sector of Berellia (capitol).
The bridge over Hoover’s Creek.
At this point, the 1st division once again becomes single track for the climb up to Singleton.
A small manufacturing and industrial town abuts the 1st district here.
Singleton’s refueling area. The Singleton depot can be seen in the distance.
