The Drystian Railway Network

A new way to travel

This article is a stub. Please comment if you would like it to become a priority for expansion.
  The Drystian railway network is in its infancy, currently having only one completed railway line between the cities of Caragal and Rendan. Two trains a day run between the two settlements, though those in charge of the project hope that number will rise to at least four within the year.   There are plans to construct railway lines connecting every major city in the country of Dryst, with priority being given to the capital of Arendal. Works are already underway on several of the planned lines, but all construction has currently been halted. There have been significant protests by those who believe the railways will destroy the traditional Drystian way of life, and discussions are currently underway across the country. The current president, however, is pro-progress, so most believe the project will not be on hold for long.

Will the protesters turn violent if the president ignores their concerns? Maybe sabotage the construction? I can't wait to find out!

Ooh, I'm intrigued by what the arguments would be on each side, i.e. what those against the progress of steam power and railways have to say vs. those in favor :)

Thank you! :D Arguments against are very much losing the traditional ways (and the necessity of relocating people for the railway lines specifically), and arguments for are economy related generally. :)
