Volksbundesbahnen
Volksbundesbahnen (officially abbreviated as VB, commonly known as Volksbahn) is an Infrastructure Company in Antarctica fully owned and funded by the gouvernment of Casey. It focuses on Railroad and Iceways and is the successor of S-Bahn Antarktis GmbH and Eistrassen GmbH. Volksbundesbahen is classified as an unincorporated special fund. Not only does it operate ice- and railroads, but also manages other infrastructure companies in Casey. It's based in Mossau.
History
After the griefing of the Mossau–Shrek Railroad and the abandoning of the Mossau–Dasko Railroad there was a discussion about the fusing of S-Bahn Antarktis GmbH and Eistrassen GmbH into a single state-owned company. This proposal was accepted and took effect on January 1st 2021. From that date on Ice Roads and Railroads would both be operated and maintained by Volksbahnen and the previous companies would seize to exist.
Subdivision
- Eisenbahndirektion: Manages anything affiliated with Railroads.
- Eistrassen Netze: Manages the construction and maintenance of the ice roads themselves.
- Eistrassen Station & Service: Designs, constructs and maintains ice road station.
