Dwarf Train

Known Trains

• Grimgrandel - Hosted in the Grimbeard Station near the Black Fire Pass is a Dwarf armored-train.^[4a]
• Imperial artillery trains - Nuln is most famed for being the home of the Imperial Gunnery School, a sprawling network of forges and smelteries where veteran gunsmiths manufacture and maintain the Imperial artillery trains. Steam-powered air pumps work night and day to vent the acrid fumes of the blazing foundries, and portions of Nuln are forever wreathed in palls of choking soot and black smoke. Indeed, the dark smog clouds hanging over Nuln are such a permanent feature that many travellers use them to navigate. Many counts send their artillerymen to the Imperial Gunnery School to learn the art of ballistics, and crews trained in Nuln are highly valued.^[1a]
• Vedenza's Artillery Train - A brazen artillery train armed with cannons an bolt throwers in use on the Tilean City-State of Vedenza.^[3a]

Known Traditions

• Siege Parade - In the City-State of Nuln whenever a Siege train leaves for war, the city has a parade. The train comes across the Great Bridge and into the Reik Platz where it travels either west or east, depending on its destination, along Commercial Way. Everyone turns out for these events, as the Siege train means a boost of income for the city.^[2a]
