Shelham, a commuter's dream
This is a new town, founded to house the workers for a new line. The addition of these tracks to the network enabled the island's central station (serving Blackhampton, the largest city) several miles up the road, to be within commuting distance for half a dozen cities huddled along the river Slate (just East of the station). After construction had completed, the town was immediately overrun by people working in Blackhampton and saw a phenomenal rise in occupancy.
In the picture it's mid-November and snowfall uphill has not made it into the neighbouring city of Piddon to the East due to the river's relative warmth keeping the area downwind ice-free. The RT130 leaving platform 1 is setting off towards Blackhampton in its morning schedule, about to complete its fourty mile journey north.
