Extension News released at 09-21 2007

Maglev News released at 09-21 2007
Now we are sure about the new extension of the Transhortis railroad. Etumtechnologies will build a new testtrack connected with our existing railway. This is certainly a huge impulse for our railroad.

Testing News released at 05-05 2007
Today and the following days will we test the tracks of the Transhortis Railroad. This will happen with many different trains, for example the (broad) railbus of the DEV, a long cargo train and with passenger trains. This happens to prevent accidents, and to make it possible to make comfortable trips in the train.

Our trains News released at 05-01 2007
Transhortis Railroad Maintenance has bought the engine of the AGJ, because they didn't want to ride on the Transhortis Railroad. This engine will be used as test engine, as maintenance train and as switcher for the other railway's. The TRM has also leased a wagon of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad, to store equipment. The eninge will get the code TH#11, our leased wagon TH#22, and together with TH#21 will this be our fleet to maintance and serve other railway's.

Test News released at 04-30 2007
Her Majesty Pelle the empress of Intercityland has tested a huge part of the Tanshortis Railroad. Since a big part was produced today she wanted to ride on the new tracks."These tracks drove nice", said Pelle, after her trip in our TH #21.

Beaver Creek Bridge News released at 04-29 2007
A great day in history of the Transhortis Railroad: The Beaver Creek Bridge has been finished, so that trains can run quite quickly to Fraser from Carcross. The bridge crosses Beaver Creek, and continues on a railbed of stone.

This year's programme News released at 04-04 2007
Today have the WP&YR, the LG&B rr and the smaller companies released what they want from our railroad. This results in the expansion of last year's programme, and a shorter link between Carcross and Fraser.

Maglev? News released at 02-28 2007
Today EtumTechnologies released the news that they are considering to construct a maglev train, and want to construct a test track near the Transhortis Railroad. We are really happy with this news; the Transhortis Railroad could become an important part in this project, because of our knowledge in railway construction and because our railroad could supply this project with all necessary materials.

LG&B News released at 02-28 2007
The Lake George and Boulder Railroad have announced today that they will get a bigger share in the Transhortis Railroad. This results in various adaptions in Lake Bennett. At first, and this is great news, will there come a big turntable with a roundhouse, built to host all of the engines riding on our railroad. Secondly will there come several factories close to the station area, together with an extra track to load and unload our cargo trains. There will also come a cableway to Boulder to link the track quicker with this town. Since the White Pass & Yukon Route won't use passenger trains in the coming years will the construction of the station of Lake Bennett be cancelled and replaced by one of the LG&B rr. The track to Fraser will be suspended because a lack of confidence in the feasiblety of this part.

Programme News released at 01-27 2007
We are currently planning our activities for this year. The already laid tracks have past the winter wonderfully well. It seems that the construction has been done well, allthough this part isn't the most difficult part.

Programme News released at 10-25 2006
Because of many delays (especially the problems with Beaver Creek and the Carcross Bridge) aren't we able to finish this year's scheduled project. We have postponed most activities, allthough we will still do everything to reach this year's targets. We will continue our labour for this week to have some tracks in use before the coming winter.

Beaver Creek News released at 10-25 2006
We've found some serious problems for our Beaver Creek project during last months, such as many leaks in the river. These problems have delayed many of our projects, but we are proud to announce that we have tackled these problems today. We now have a fully working Beaver Creek.

Tracks News released at 09-24 2006
Today have we laid a lot of rails in the neighbourhood of Carcross. The rails have been tested by Pelle, but aren't ready yet.

Tracks News released at 09-23 2006
Tomorrow wil be a great day in history of the Transhortis Railroad! We will start with the construction of the tracks. We expect that we can run testtrains on some parts of the railroad shortly. We are however delayed, and we expect that we will finish this year's part in the end of september instead of now.

Activities News released at 09-02 2006
We haven't finished all of our scheduled activities yet, but we are already very close to a working Transhortis Railroad.

Track construction News released at 07-21 2006
We have found a solution for the so called "beavercurve", the temporary track from Bennett to Carcross on another route. This curve will be build because this will increase capacity on the line, but the track has to be temporary, because it will otherwise impede other traffic. We will support the track with steel constructions.

Weather News released at 07-21 2006
Since it has been very warm during last weeks can't we work from the late morning until evening. We are afraid that we can't build that fast for this reason. Although we still think that we will finish the railroad in time can there come some delay. We hope that cool weather will come soon!

New site News released at 07-14 2006
We will start very soon with a new site for the site of the Transhortis Railroad. This site will become bigger than this one, and will get pictures of the the Transhortis Railroad. As we like the lay-out of this site will we use it for Etumrail. When the other site is finished will we place all information of this site on the other and stop this site. We expect that this site will be finished in September or October.

Site News released at 05-16 2006
Unfortunately, we have to announce that the site isn't up to date for the coming weeks. The reason for this is that the whole plan has to be changed, since the old plan isn't right.

Vacation News released at 05-09 2006

The route News released at 04-22 2006
Today has the Transhortis Railroad decided where to lay the tracks, and wich towns will be connected with the rails. The last few weeks was the main plan to let the track link the port of Skagway with their shops. However, the team of the Transhortis Railroad has decided that the track will link Lake Pennington and Lake Fraser. In a reaction said Pelle, production manager, that it was easier to build the track here, and that the rails were needed more between the stations, because of the growing importance of this area.
