| Vladivostov Commences Construction of Railroads | |
| By: Republic of Vladivostov Date: June 8, 2015, 3:56 pm | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| Vladivostov has commenced construction of a local rail system to | |
| support the industrial needs of the state. A request will be put | |
| in to Congress requesting permission to expand the system across | |
| the NCSA, linking other states together and bolstering | |
| international trade. Vladivostov requests the permission of | |
| Gondor, Scientificum, and New Dothan to immediately begin the | |
| laying of track into their nations. | |

| Such a project interests Gondor, but Brinkman Rail Industries, a | |
| Gondorian company, would like to partner with Vladivostov on | |
| this project. The two nations can help lay tracks at the same | |
| time, making the process mutually beneficial and efficient. | |
| Gondor also asks what type of rail system that Vladivostov would | |
| desire, and what type of train or other locomotive design they | |
| would prefer. | |

| Vladivostov is glad to accept a work agreement and is eager to | |
| begin work right away. | |
| We will produce all locomotives and rolling stock unless if | |
| Gondor wishes to enter their own schematics. Our system is | |
| planned to operate at speeds of ~70 mph, and will be used purely | |
| for freight. Only diesel-electric locomotives will be used. | |
| Trains can be expected to average 10,000 tons or greater | |
| depending on need. | |
| OOC: Locomotives can be based off of any EMD-GE design since | |
| 1970. | |

| Brinkman Rail Ind. will allow for the schematics to be of | |
| Vladivostovian origin, and welcomes the immediate efforts to | |
| begin construction through the states. Gondor will also provide | |
| rail workers and engineers for the future railways, so as to | |
| promote job growth. Workers from other states are also welcome | |
| to apply at Brinkman for work, as all assistance is welcome. | |
| While Gondor is pleased with the freight aspect of the future | |
| railways for trade purposes, Gondor would also like to propose a | |
| passenger railway that would run through major cities in many | |
| NCSA states. This would help all states to profit off ticket | |
| sales, as well as preventing more pollution through increasing | |
| public transportation. What Gondor is proposing is a bullet | |
| train system, which Gondor would provide schematics and tracks | |
| for. This tram system is excellent in the areas of fuel | |
| efficiency, safety, and high speeds. | |

| DEN, although not necessarily benefitted by this, asks that they | |
| include their maglev and high speed train designs into the | |
| railways, and that they may supply some workers for | |
| construction. | |

| While a passenger system does seem to have its benefits, | |
| Vladivostov has no interest in building one. We will offer you | |
| resources and rolling stock for the railroad, however no workers | |
| or funds will be provided. Instead, the freight system will be | |
| focused on. Hopefully this does not interfere with our future | |
| cooperation. | |

| Emperor Xerxes suggests that this railway go underwater through | |
| the Great Lakes connecting with Sparta.(OOC: like the Chunnel) | |
| so that it will be quicker to transfer goods around the Great | |
| Lakes and also to the Midwest. | |

| Gondor thanks Vladivostov for its honesty and will focus on the | |
| freight project for the time being. In response to Sparta's | |
| request for a railway under the Great Lakes Gondor has a rather | |
| opposite point of view. Such a railway could damage the habitats | |
| of native wildlife and would also go through much of Gondor's | |
| sovereign waters, which is discouraged. | |

| DEN requests that, since they live in a mountainous region, they | |
| have a better understanding of tunneling and underground | |
| construction. They request to be part of this plan to construct | |
| the railway, and even suggests their high speed freight railway | |
| and magelv designs. | |

| Unfortunately, Vladivostov finds that a tunnel under the Great | |
| Lakes is not currently cost-effective and will not be built. | |
| To validate, is Sparta giving Vladivostov and Gondor permission | |
| to lay track track within their territory? | |
| In response to repeated inquiries of Maglev and HSR | |
| construction, Vladivostov states that this is not plausible. The | |
| high weight involved in freight transportation will create too | |
| much wear-and-tear on the rail surface or magnets, creating | |
| unsafe conditions. However, we assure you that the rail system | |
| created will be as efficient as possible while minimizing cost. | |
