Allegheny Homesteaders Railroad
The Allegheny Homesteaders Railroad is a long distance common carrier railroad that specializes in passenger services. It is the national train service of East Allegheny and originally served as a railroad for merchants in the city of New Sierra, the largest city within East Allegheny. It currently services over 40 cities in five sovereign countries, including East Allegheny, Appalachia, the Ozark Republic, Heisse, and the Virginian Dominion.
Originally named the Eastern Allegheny Railroad Company, it was established 1824 and originally ran from Pelham County to Slate County as a strictly freighter train, but opened up as a passenger & freight line at the height of the Allegheny Coal Rush. In 1922, the Eastern Allegheny Railroad Company faced potential bankruptcy before the outburst of the Alleghenic National War which dragged much of the continent into war. In 1944, the Eastern Allegheny Railroad Company reorganized as the Allegheny Homesteaders Railroad and cut off its freight services in an effort to push passenger services at the forfront.
The Allegheny Homesteaders Railroad pushed for very aggressive expansion in 1945, absorbing over twenty different railroad lines into its corporation.
