Departures for the North Branch

Leaving the grand railway terminus of Calida Portum, we see a mid-sized 0-6-8-0 compound mallet "Chiaroscuro" leaving with a long sleeper train, while the aged 4-4-0 "Budapesto" waits for the track to clear to depart with a slower local train.    Upon the dual gauge line above belonging to the Central Branch, a broad gauge 4-2-2 "Wild Child"  from two centuries ago brings in one of the short three-car rapid transit trains, having just rapidly traversed the district line of the underground section.
