S.L. Vergilius

The S.L. Vergilius is a modified 4-8-8-4 coal-fueled steam locomotive used to deliver large amounts of cargo across wastelands, significantly shortening travel time for supplies and trade between city-states. It was designed and built over several years by Creanean mechanical engineer Oliver Walterson, was launched for trips starting in 4772, and is solely owned by his wife Zafirah Walterson after his death. Its travel and upkeep is being solely funded by the Smith & Watts Shipping Co. under contract with Walterson.

Design
The entire train is made of the engine, 4 cabins, and the caboose. Each cabin is 14 feet in height, 12 feet in width, 40 feet in length, and split into an upper section and a lower section.
 * The engine is a modified piston system powered by coal. The majority of the front section is the fire-tube boiler, housing the pistons, the fire box, the ash box, and the boiler water. The middle section houses the engineer, sitting on his left is the active fireman, and the back section is the tender that houses the coal and where the passive fireman works.
 * The officer cabin houses the offices and the infirmary. The lower section is a cargo hold. The doorway leads to a 5 foot wide hallway. There are eight offices, each of which is 10 feet long and 4 feet wide.
 * An open room that will eventually become zoologist Alfons Vogt's office.
 * The doctor's office used by Trevor Aldis.
 * The infirmary for housing and treating patients. It is the only office without a ballistic window.
 * The captain's office used by Zafirah Walterson.
 * The navigator's office used by Milosz Tvetkov.
 * The conductor's office used by David Smith.
 * The accountant's office used by Edgard Dubois.
 * The supervisor's office shared by the Chief Fireman, the Chief Guard, and the Logistics Coordinator.
 * There are two sleeper cabins. Each sleeper cabin houses all the beds for the crew. The doorway leads to a 5 foot wide hallway. Each single bed is 5 feet long and 4 feet wide, has a single pillow, a fitted sheet, and a blanket, and has a thick wool curtain for privacy. From the mattress to the top is around 2 to 3 feet of headroom. The bottom of each bunk has a drawer for personal storage and the wall of each bunk has a very small ballistic glass window with a covering (as would be seen on an airplane). There are 16 beds in each cabin, making 32 beds in total. The bottom sections of both cabins are cargo holds.
 * The storage cabin houses the vehicle, the kitchen, and general supply for each trip. The supply room takes up half of the cabin in a 20 by 12 foot space. The front half of the cabin has the 10 by 12 foot kitchen and food supply and the middle section is the vehicle storage where the Willys M38A1 Jeep is stored. The vehicle section has a side ramp that opens allowing the vehicle to drive in and out of the area.
 * The caboose is a smaller cabin that is only 20 feet long and 12 feet wide. It houses all the weapons and ammo and is constantly guarded. It has an open section in the back. It is the most vulnerable yet the most heavily guarded part of the train.
