State Council passes Dorvish State Railways budget improvement.
December, 5667
Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Wendy Kieffer (HKA) announced that the State Council has passed the new budget for the Dorvish State Railways which includes a series of modernization's. The primary modernization will be replacing the traditional trains utilized by the Dorvish State Railways with high-speed trains, bringing high-speed trains outside of Haldor and the Greater Kordusia region for the first time in several decades. The previous high-speed trains were replaced with a newer generation of high-speed trains by the previous Social Democratic Party government after debates over the environmental impact brought the issue to the campaign trail and eventually were replaced with a slower generation of trains. The State Council budget passage will provide funding for Haldor, which maintained their fleet of older generation high-speed trains to upgrade to the newest generation developed by a consortium of Dorvish companies, notably Theil-Hassel Technologies GmbH and Kasmetall AG. The budget also includes upgrading all primary routes in the regions of Greater Kordusia, Miktar, Largonia and Dorvan branches of the Dorvish State Railways and includes several upgrades for the special mountain trains that are operated in Westmark due to the geographic conditions. HKA Deputy Fritz Dahmen welcomed the act in front of the State Council building while several deputies from the Social Democratic Party shouted down the jubilant HKA Deputy. "They're upset because we have improved the Dorvish peoples day-to-day lives. These new generation trains are safer, more efficient and better for the Dorvish people." A spokesman for the Social Democratic Party stated that the environmental impact of these new trains is yet to be seen but protecting the environment is absolutely necessary.
