The holes with the lava in them I'd be worried about.

Helluva warzone...literally!!

You'd have to see it personally, a description just doesn't do it justice. They aren't regular holes, more like you are driving along and one track disappears, toppling the vehicle. Its a bad place to take young children, you'd never see them again. This is the area Keflavik - Reykavik - Borgarnes, the only places with some value. Theres basically nothing elsewhere.

The CNR (Cross Nordmark Railway) has Completed it electrification of it's main line between Karlskrona and Trondheim, via Oslo. The major project which has taken nearly 10years, and absorbed large Government grants, has involved the replacement of many narrow tunnels, and the construction of several new power stations to provide power for the trains.
The new trains are propelled by a 15Kv overhead supply, and are capable of a maximum of 80mph

A mere 80 mph?! Perhaps they should try the new Japanese E-loc.

well, they need plenty of sheer haulage power ino order to be able to haul heavy trains across the terrain.

Electrically-induced Loss of Consciousness? Why would you want to-

bzzzzt!

Something like 57,250 lbf (254 kN) starting TE?
Oh no! The Japanese loc uses 11,500 V and not 15,000 V!

Wait! What are you doing with my E-l...

bzzzzt!

*thud*

With our...technical difficulties...resolved, we now return you to Nordmark news programming.

Argentinas main request was to purchase the South Shetland Islands and South Georgia, which after much thought, the King refused stating that Nordmark had paid far to greater price to let the Islands go.
