due to the thinner right of way in the mountains, a less-than-typical class of locomotives was built in-house at the AFRR's shops in Kerness, with inside motion to keep the locomotives as lithe as possible. trains of this loading gauge interchange with the main railway just south of Skeld Hills

new locomotive reveal

Atlas & Ferrora Railway Class F3 329, an 0-6-0 outside frame, inside motion mine locomotive! the luster seams along the eastern face of the Anthracite Mountains are notably less stable than other parts of the range, and as such, the AFR created the F3 class to solve a problem!

The devastating 1906 Earthquake left SF in ruins. To clear the debris, local railroads were put to work.

The upstart Ocean Shore RR, which terminated at 12th & Mission St, was key in clearing the inner city. Jobless residents found work in shoveling rubble onto waiting OSRR flatcars, as seen below.

CLMR 660 here is currently travelling on the G.C.S.R after being interchanged in Épilliérs, E.K. with the G.W.R, originating at the CLMR plant on the shore of Corbelle Lake. this train is destined for Van Deagan Trading Post in the north, and cars from CLMR are likely full of export products in turn

time for the first in a daily sorta series!

The New River and Sandstone Falls stretches between Falstaf Jct. and Aquapolis, E.K.,nestled in the shadows of the Abalathian Mountains. while one of the country's smaller roads, it nonetheless provides important service, seen as 2-8-0 no. 73 heads a string of logs to the east interchange.

you won't see any combustion power in this world, i'm afraid, but some early electrics are around if ya know where to look!

sun sets on the bank of the raspberry river as a G.C.S.R. D10h carries on north with the railway's premier merchandise train, the 'Double Iron' - 1398's only some 8 years old at time of the photo, and would remain a premier general purpose locomotive for many years to come with the G.C.S.R

all in all, i'm excited to share more about the railways of pawmoxia with y'all, and i'll try to do at least one post a day!

you won't see any combustion power in this world, i'm afraid, but some early electrics are around if ya know where to look!

of course, this is all for the year 1890 - things do change and expand over time, and some of my art does take place pre-1890!

since it's a fantasy world, things dont match the real world exactly, time wise - generally, pawmoxia's tech lines up with about the late 20s, early 30s!

pawmoxia is split into 7 countries, each with at least one major railway a piece! the primary ones to look out for are...

E.K. - Great Waterway, Great Coast & Sunmire
W.K. - Kingdom Rail
S.I. - Soken Gov't
N.A. - New Arcadia
T.C. - Cascade National
S.P. - Atlas & Ferrora
E.A. - Efria Kluane Trail

ive said a lot about a few places so far, with no overarching context! so here ya go, the world that all my railway posting's gonna take place in - Pawmoxia! as this is also my main oc world, fantasy and magic stuff is a backgrounding element, but generally, the focus here is on the railways! cont.

the posting will continue until im outta old stuff to post. then its new content baby!

Former Rayonier 2-8-2 number 70 double-heads with Canadian Collieries 0-6-0 number 17 as they both pull an excurion at the Northwest Railway Museum in Snoqualmie, Washington. This 1922 Baldwin-built logging Mike is operational today at the Mount Rainier Scenic Railroad at Mineral, WA after a two-year hiatus due to the tourist railroad's closure. #17 was also built by Naldwin, in 1891, as an 0-6-0, but was rebuilt as a 2-6-0ST+T in 1918 ( fuel tender plus a saddle tank to carry extra water. It is still at the NWRM, but is in poor shape, having sat outside after last operating in 1969.
