The Great Hellbound Railway is a massive project conducted by London to construct a railway to Hell through the Hinterlands. The Tracklayer's Union, led by Furnace Ancona, are responsible for providing labor and ensuring workers' rights.
Railway Track
Thanks to its advanced and unusual materials, railway steel is particularly suited to the Neath, as well as to the complicated task of reaching Hell intact; it is primarily composed of Justificande coins and Bessemer steel. In addition to Surface steel's ductile strength and low surface roughness, these materials contain at least one unique impurity: martensite crystals, as identified by FF Gebrandt, which act as a compass of sorts, orienting themselves towards Hell.[2] Whether the impurity comes from the Justificande coins, the Bessemer steel, or both is unclear.
Stations
- Ealing Gardens, closest to London and home to Rubbery folk.
- Jericho Locks, the next closest, which serves as home for those who work the canals in the Upper River.
- The Magistracy of the Evenlode, a settlement atop First City ruins that is the outer bound of the reach of London's laws.
- Balmoral, the Empress's Scottish holding that has fallen with London into the Neath.
- Station VIII, a factory complex that extracts emotions in chemical form.
- Burrow-Infra-Mump, a lonely church next to Hell's figurative gates.
- Moulin, a small town next to a wasteland. It is said that all lost things eventually end up in Moulin, even things from across the Unterzee.
- The Hurlers, a desolate frozen wasteland marked with mysterious standing stones and a castle that isn't there.
- Marigold Station, a place of flowers and past crimes, located right under the walls of Hell.
