Trans-Euran Railway

The Trans-Euran Railway, inspired by the example of Babkhan and Bassarid forebears, comprises of overlapping networks concentrated in the eastern portion of the continent of Eura. The network has some overlap and interconnection with the Pan-Euran Highway.

History

A project, began in the early 1660s, to establish a railway network linking Vey to Raspur and thence to the ports of Aqaba and Nivardom. The lines are being constructed in two concurrent incremental stages by the Aqaba-Nivardom Railway Construction and Development Corporation and the Zjandarian Railway & Development Corporation, both established in the year 1663.

The Vey to Raspur project was terminated by the Second Euran War but the Aqaba to Nivardom project was seen through to completion by the Aqaba-Nivardom Railway Construction and Development Corporation.

In 1708 AN, the Raspur Railway Corporation, assisted by the Kapavia Southern Railway Corporation, was tasked to extend the Trans-Euran Railway to Mehrshahr, whilst the surviving elements of the previous ventures became subordinated to the Grand Commissariat of Eura and Corum under the authority of the Committee of Euran Salvation.

Assigned resources

In mid-1708 AN the Grand Commissariat received an Imperial Farman from Petropolis commanding Ardashir Bābakān-e Osman to provide over a period of three years starting in 1709 AN, for the purpose of railway construction, the following:

• 372,775 kuls in 310 indentured regiments
• 2,000,000 tons of pig iron
• 209,500,000 mudbricks
• 384,000,000 baked bricks
• 1,860,000,000 Imperial staters

These resources, once gathered by the Grand Commissariat were to be apportioned between the Aqaba-Nivardom Railway Construction and Development Corporation, for construction work in the provinces of Aqaba and Molivadia, and the Raspur Railway Corporation for works in the Raspur Khanate and Suren Confederacy.
