Stickburg Stickville & Sticktropolis Railway





History
The Stickburg Stickville & Sticktropolis Railway is a Narrow Gauge (3 Foot) Railroad System Running Between Sticktropolis, the capital of The Sticklands to it's Northernmost city, Graphite Flats. it functions essentially as a trunk line, bringing Materials from Sticktropolis North to Stickburg and Graphite Flats. it was Chartered by Governor Horace Edward McStickley in 1907 with the intent of expanding the economy of his country. The Road reached the city of Sticktropolis in 1915. it reached Stickburg in 1916 and, a year later, inaugurated their crack passenger train, The Ticonderogan. The Railroad built an extension to Graphite Flats in 1920. The Railroad also built a branch line along the Pencil Pointe Peninsula to the Graphite Motors Proving Grounds which was built at the end of the peninsula. in 1983 the Railroad tore up the branch line when Graphite Motors shut the plant down, but it was recently rebuilt and reactivated as rail link to a new military base owned by the Codrasan Empire. The Railroad also owns several spur lines on the Docks of Sticktropolis. Today, The Graphite Road's Tracks cover the eastern seaboard of The Sticklands, and provides a very important link between the Country's Three major cities.

The S.S.&.S. and The Raland Railway: A comparison of two 21st Century Narrow Gaugers.
The Stickburg Stickville & Stricktropolis Railway is definitely not the only Narrow gauge Rail System out there operating in modern times. In Raland, (Both Raland and the Raland Railways are not affiliated with The Sticklands or the SS&S but is being listed here for comparison purposes only) Narrow Gauge Trains also contribute to the economy While Converted Diesels Haul Modern Freight and Passenger Equipment across Raland's Many Narrow gauge Rail lines, Antique Wood burning Steamers Slowly haul strings of swaying wooden cars over Noisy Jointed Rail. The Raland Railways Owns all if not most of it's own power, Almost half of the locomotives currently in service on The Stickburg Stickville & Sticktropolis Railway are on loan from it's Ally, The Codrasan Empire, Which had a surplus of Narrow Gauge Equipment sitting dormant on its own roads. While Gauge Conversion/Modernization of The Graphite Road is possible, The Sticklanders have grown quite fond of their Antique Narrow Gauge Trains, and Cherish them too dearly to let them go. So the antique trains continue to Ply the jointed rails along the eastern shoreline on daily runs.
