National Rail Company

The National Rail Company is a publicly-owned company of J Andres. It was founded in 2097 by Pierre Bourbon, the newly inaugurated president. In the aftermath of the Grand Mexican War, transportation in J Andres was difficult. The highway system had fallen to pieces, and horses were the fastest reliable method of transportation. A quicker method of transporting good safely without risk of attack was needed. The National Rail Company was formed to meet this need.

Three original lines were first announced when the company was formed.
 * The Coast Line - Running from Boston through to Greater Brooklyn, with major stops in Endor Cuidad, Providence, and Rossingol.
 * The BB Line - Running from Boston through to Buffalo, with major stops in Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, and Mercton Cuidad.
 * The Vinsalia Line - Running from Albany south to Greater Brooklyn

A major source of concern when the National Rail was announced, was where all the steel would be sourced from. A number of large salvage operations were founded to recover steel from the countryside to make the railroad.

The Coast Line was completed in 2102, with the much longer BB line expected to be completed in 2108.
