===To 1848===

The statelets of [[~~Matritime~~ Dericania]] ([[Burgundie]]) were sluggards in building railways, compared to [[Urcea]] and the rest of the interior of [[Kingdom of Dericania]] which had already demonstrated their worthiness by [[1830]]. Due to the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] tradition of [[Culture_in_Burgundie#Hyper-Urbanization|hyper-urbanization]], urban land was expensive, as was iron and {{wp|anthracite}} (preferred over the [[Energy_policy_in_Burgundie#History|lignite coal common]] in [[Maritime ~~Deriania~~]]). A more serious obstacle was powerful political opposition, especially as mobilized by the principalities transport companies that used canals, roads, and rivers. They blocked the necessary railway charters. Mining companies in [[Faramount]], in [[1828]], opened the first railway to move coal, most of the work was done by horses, although steam locomotives were used for the last segment. Passenger service opened in [[1835]]. Rail was invested in by dukes and counts as a personal hobby leading to a wide variety of gauges, lengths of rail, and types of rail service. It wasn't until the [[~~Frist~~ Fratricide]] and the use of rail for military purposes by the more standardized and unified interior states of [[Kingdom of Dericania]] the that new state of [[Burgundie]] could no longer avoid the obvious need for a grand rail infrastructure, unified by more standardized gauges, regulated and inspected by the government but owned and operated by the private sector.

The [[First Great War]] highlighted the need for similar levels of investment in rail infrastructure in [[Equatorial Osteicia]] and the islands of [[BORA]]. It also became a key period for the development of intracity light transit. The {{wp|Chemin de fer de Petite Ceinture}} built in [[Vilauristre]] to supply the [[Vilauristre#Vilauristre_Defensive_Positions|Vilauristre Defensive Positions]], was later remanded to public use and eventually became what is today [[Vilauristre#ViaVille]].
