The Dunwall & Whitecliff Railway Company is a fictional business created for the Thresh Street Runners RP campaign.

It'll be making an appearance in Dirty Deeds.

D&WR Details
As its name suggests the D&WR concerns itself with a railway line between the cities of Dunwall and Whitecliff, though one that is currently under construction. Once finished the line will speed up journey times and make traveling between the two cities alot safer by allowing passengers to avoid the highwaymen that plague Gristol's roads.

Dirty Deeds
In the Dirty Deeds case the D&WR has problems with trying to build a line into the city of Dunwall, chiefly with gaining right of way for their track along their proposed route. This is due to a few land and property owners who refuse to sell up, this is something of a headache for the company as they only have few viable routes to work with. Having free reign to cut a path through the slums helps, but this only gets the company so far.

So it is decided to secretly alter the wills of the various problematic landowners by bribing a clerk in a lawyer's office to switch the wills for ones more favourable to the company, then having the landowners killed. Though the wills of some of the landowners are held by their families rather than a lawyer, which raises further problems for the company.

Technology
I'm aware of Dishonored's trains, though to me they seem all that suitable for long distance travel.

Somehow I don't think the line would be electried like those in Dunwall, so maybe more conventional locomotives running on coal or even whale oil. Either way I'm certain it would be different to what we see in Dunwall itself.
