Victoria Falls: A Post-Collapse American Nation Quest [Down With Victoria!]

Voting is open
Reader mode
...My apologies, Uju.

I was recalling past incidents where you confidently deduced things you were sure were true and asserted them as fact, and incorrectly assuming that you were doing the same again. I should not have done that, and I regret it.
 
So one thing I wanted to clear up is that Russia probably won't directly involve themselves with this conflict, because doing so would risk giving their many enemies the cause and opportunity to retaliate, my strategy was based on the idea that Russia would provide material support while Victoria sends it's own citizens into battle.
 
So Assuming we successfully maximize our farming output, what's the maximum population we can support? Victoria may on paper have a larger population, but in practice they deliberately underutilize anyone who isn't a white male.

From the Amazon page:

Reforging Excalibur is an exciting and unique proposal for restructuring America's armed forces in order to better prepare us for Fourth-Generation warfare. After a withering critique of the bloat and waste of the Department of Defense and Pentagon's "business as usual" attitude towards military spending, the authors disclose why this approach is unsustainable in terms of budget and combat readiness. In short, while our military is prepared to fight wars with other state militaries, it is woefully unprepared — psychologically and structurally — to succeed in Fourth-Generation warfare.

The authors address social experiments and challenges hoisted upon military servicemen that wind up confusing and emasculating them as effective warriors: the deleterious effects of women and gay men in units, insufficient command time for commanding officers, et al. These issues have been discussed behind closed doors among combat veterans for years, although they are never openly addressed by general officers before Congress. This book aims to change that conversation.

Ultimately, the vision that Lind and Ewald share is one of a military scaled down to precision, while the National Guard takes on a new and bold outsized role in protecting the United States.

"Ultimately, the vision that Lind and Ewald share is one of a military scaled down to precision, while the National Guard takes on a new and bold outsized role in protecting the United States."

Once again, Lind takes a legitimate issue and twists it into a crock of shit. The military is bloated, yes, but the solution isn't to go back to the doctrine of militia militaries jesus christ

And I'm not even touching the 'women and gays make the military weaker'. As always, Lind can fuck off with that bullshit.
 
I don't know how to upload images, but I will mention Leonard Matlovitch
"A Gay Vietnam Veteran
When I was in the military, they gave me a medal for killing two men and a discharge for loving one."

Rail Costs
General commentary on current US freight rail costs
www.freightwaves.com

Commentary: Do you want to build a freight railroad?

The cost to build a railroad is staggering. Jim Blaze gives an overview of the costs involved in such an endeavor.
www.freightwaves.com www.freightwaves.com
Here is a broad rule of thumb when trying to estimate what a railway line's new construction might cost.
Ignoring the land cost, the basic rails + ties + ballast + sub-compaction and grading might as a capital budget expense come to between $3.5 million and $4.5 million for each route mile when built as a single-track main line.

If you build a parallel second main track, then consider adding another $1 million to $1.5 million per mile to the budget plan.
Are you building this track in an urban area? Prudently add another $2 to $4 million a mile to the capital construction budget. Add more if the terrain requires tunnels and bridges. Add even more if utilities or structures need to be relocated.

Cost of High Speed Rail in China One Third Lower than in Other Countries

By the end of 2013, China had built a high speed rail network of over 10,000 route-km, far exceeding that in any other country and larger than the network in the entire European Union.
www.worldbank.org www.worldbank.org
The paper notes that construction cost of high speed rail in China tends to be lower than in other countries. China's high speed rail with a maximum speed of 350 km/h has a typical infrastructure unit cost of about US$ 17-21m per km, with a high ratio of viaducts and tunnels, as compared with US$25-39 m per km in Europe and as high as US$ 56m per km currently estimated in California.

Saudi Arabian 2400km passenger and freight railway project
www.railway-technology.com

North-South Railway Line

The North-South Railway (NSR) project in Saudi Arabia is the world’s largest railway construction and the longest route to adopt the European train control system (ETCS) to date. It is a 2,400km passenger and freight rail line originating in the capital city Riyadh, in the northwest of the...
www.railway-technology.com www.railway-technology.com
The project is expected to transport four million tons of commodities and two million passengers every year.

North-South Railway infrastructure
The North-South Railway will have 107 bridges and 2,679 culverts along the 2,400km freight and passenger line. This stretch involves construction of a 280km rail line in the Al Nafude desert between Hail and Al Jawf.

The bridges will be assembled with pre-stressed concrete spans of 20m in length. A standard Continuous Welded Rail (CWR) track-form will be used throughout the line for easy maintenance. RCC culverts will be cast using in-situ bored piles.

"The entire route will be equipped with a CTC signalling system."
The North-South Railway line will accommodate axle loads up to 32.4t with 1,800 concrete sleepers laid every kilometre. Each concrete sleeper weighs 60kg / m.

As of April 2010, 800km of the 1,486km industrial line had already been laid. This line is intended to transport 16,000t of minerals in a single journey.

Signalling and communications
The entire 2,400km rail route will be equipped with a centralised traffic control (CTC) signalling system. In addition, the industrial rail line will be equipped with a computer-assisted manual block system.

Rolling stock
The passenger route from Riyadh to Al Haditha will accommodate trains travelling at 250km/h but this will be limited to 160km/h. The freight trains will be running at a speed of 80km/h when loaded and 100km/h when empty.

The North-South Railway line will deploy 25 diesel locomotives with 4,300hp engines. Each locomotive will be 3km long, with 160 wagons and each wagon will carry 100t of minerals. Of the 668 wagons, 524 will be used to transport phosphate.

Saudi Arabian single double track line. 160km top speed passengers, 80km freight.
Estimated yearly capacity of four million tons of freight and two milliom passengers.
3.5 billion dollars contract, averaging ~1.4 million per km of rail.


By those numbers?

A twenty seven hundred mile, six lane highway at current costs would cost around thirty eight billion dollars. $38 billion.
Probably less, because land and labor costs are substantially less in the US post-Collapse than they are now, and they would be building on the roadbed of an old transport network.

Still a substantial expense.

Using the Saudi numbers for rail, twenty seven hundred miles of twin double-track rail would cost around twelve point one billion dollars. $12.1 billion.
Including a central maintenance depot, but not counting the costs of the locomotives themselves, or their refuelling infrastructure.


Note that costs in the quest itself may not resemble these.
But I personally found it useful to get my head around the potential magnitude of the project in question when looked at in dollars and cents terms.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to install old-fashioned coal trains? I mean, I know Lind is a train enthusiast, but given his paleocon worldview of "old ways are better", wouldn't Rumlind advocate a return to old coal-powered steam trains?

Admittedly, this would run afoul of Alexander trying to keep what's left of the environment from burning up, and the fact that nobody really has the tech to build and/or maintain a coal train system anymore.

No, it would not.

As you pointed out the infrastructure and knowledgebase for coal trains do not exist any longer outside Victoria, and with access to international markets there is zero reason to try to recreate them.
Also, setting aside the PR problems:

1) Coal has almost half the energy density of diesel; 24MJ/kg to diesel's 45MJ/kg or therabouts.
You'd have to carry twice the same amount of fuel per km travelled as in a hybrid diesel-electric, or a purely electric system.
Nor would it have any of the logistic or environmental advantages of a hydrogen-powered or battery-powered train.

2)Coal-powered engines are steam engines. They require tons of water to operate, which is lost in operation.
Thats another additional resource that has to be sourced, carried on the train, and replenished periodically, driving up infrastructure and operating costs.

3)Coal leaves behind coal ash. Bulky, sometimes toxic, has to be packed up, transported away and disposed off. Safely.
Diesel does not. Methanol does not. Ammonia does not. Hydrogen does not.
Batteries can be recycled.

Coal does not make sense for anyone who has any alternatives at all. At worst you'd see it refined to produce synthetic fuel.
You have to be ideologically driven like the Vics to use coal trains in the late 21st century.
 
I imagine the knowledge of coal trains and their use are probably still available on whatever heritage railways survived the collapse, and as for rolling stock, we should see if diesel or electric vehicles can be manufactured or imported for a reasonable price. Also, since our currency is points, what would a project setting up a decent rail network throughout the CFC look like in terms of investment, rolls and stages?
 
I don't think that coal powered steam trains would be in any way practical or affordable, especially compared to electric or diesel trains.

I do think that changes nothing in that the Victorian government would damn well make a go at building coal trains regardless.

Historical data is not industrial experience.
The investment of spooling up coal production, training coal power engineers and the like does not make sense in a political situation where we have access to the outside world. Afghanistan doesnt use coal trains, they drive Toyota Hiluxes.

I think it has been previously mentioned in this thread that the Victorian government operates coal-fired trains.
Using imported coal from I think Pennsylvania.
Because ideology.

Never mind that they have abundant electricity because they stole the Quebecois hydroelectric power system, and its almost 40 GW of hydroelectric power generation, in addition to the Niagara Falls power stations and their 4GW of power generation, and the Fundy Bay tidal power complex.
 
Honestly, I struggle to imagine the Vicks actually using all their electric generating capacity, given the constraints they try to force on their own population's lifestyle and deliberately retro industry.

The most likely use of all that power is, say, big Russian-owned smelters and whatnot that process ore shipped across from the bits of Canada the Vicks control, or down the Great Lakes from Minnesota and Michigan.

...Ore we are now sitting athwart the shipping lanes for.

or, I suppose, other very energy intensive activities done for Mother Russia. Maybe something like producing liquid or even solid hydrogen (or other ways to basically store energy in a very dense way), or aluminum production?

Of course that still needs some decent industrial plants for the work AND infrastructure to move them.

I just said smelters. That can include aluminum production, or at least the energy-intensive part where you get it from bauxite, right?

(You know thermite? Thermite is what happens when you smelt aluminum backwards. Aluminum very much wants to oxidize, and loves to do so with extreme vigor and heat. No wonder it's ridiculously energy-intensive to turn the bauxite back into pure aluminum)

More generally, remember that Victoria started with the transportation infrastructure of New England and Quebec, more or less. For a company with actual money and resources and the compliance of the Vick government, it's not that hard to get a specific bit patched up so that you can have railroad sidings connecting your factory and a riverside port, plus high-voltage lines to one of those giant-ass hydropower plants.
 
Just asking, how much longer is the vote going to be open for? Its been open since late January and the last tallied vote was at least a month ago.

Not gonna lie, I gave this vote a miss in part because my eyes just kept hitting the winning plan and bouncing off it because of all the description. At the time, couldn't parse it. Sort of can now. :(

But. Roll 3!

So that's... good for expanding the State Department, I guess? I hope Roll 2... ah, snapdragons. Well, one out of two ain't bad.
Simon_Jester threw 1 100-faced dice. Reason: Roll 3 Total: 90
90 90
