(Hi)Story:

The Rocky Ditch Railroad and the Harbour East Railroad where founded in the early 1950,
after Continental East was running Bankroupt do to a big heaveally War damaged rail network
which was split in 2 halfs was to expensive to hold intact.

The Rocky Ditch Railroad got the West Part from Timsta into the nearby mountains.
And the Harbour East Railroad was founded to overtake the Freight services in the New London Docks
and the nearby Industries.

Diffrend to the Continental East Railroad, the Rocky Ditch Railroad didn't continue developement of the
high power Steam Locos and instead invested in the Loco Car Thing Loco series, which consits of two compatible
Locomotice types, one Electic and one Diesel-Electric loco which use many exchangeable parts to lower the
Prize of repairs and generally the costs of operation.

From the early 70s on the Loco Car Thing started to take over more and more of the Operations.
Which increesed the transport capacities and helped stabelize the Standing of the Company longtherm.
With this increese it was possible to build new lines and expand existing ones.

Meanwhile the Harbour East Railroad didn't do that well.
Do to them only having access to the rest of the Rail Network via. an old makeshift repaired Line throu the mountains
to Timsta Station.
There Locos and Track aged and there Budget shrunk and shrunk.
In the late 80s they where close to bankrupt.

In 1992 the Rocky Ditch Railroad took over the Harbour East Railroad and is since then called
"Rocky Ditch and Harbour East Railroad Inc."
Shortly after planing started on a new Line from Timsta to New London West to increese the Transport capacities
and ensure longtherm operation Stability.

In the early 00s they also took over Eastern Express and with that the Passenger services in this area.
and just recently they started to introduce the new V8-electric and F7-diesel Express Locomotives for
Express Passenger services and to expand Passenger services in the East in general.
