The train slowly pulls out of the freight station in the Everglade Wherehouse district.....

It is carrying 5 tons of dynamite...

Dynamite... needed for the Anterage mine.....

img0003-2.jpg

The train must travel slowly through the winding tracks to the Anterage Mine....

img0004-2.jpg

It passes the small town of Anterage, the small town that the mine company was named after, this town is expected to grow exponentialy after the mine is up and running...

img0005-1.jpg

Further and further into the forest, the mine is very far away....

img0006-1.jpg

Finaly, the dirt road leading to the mine is within sight....

img0007-1.jpg

The rail traveles through a narrow canyon, the only level area for the train to get to the mine...

img0008-1.jpg

And finaly the train arrives at the Anterage Mine Station...

The dynamite is unloaded into the station....

The dynamite is put into place.....

Then... BOOM!!! A video taken by a worker shows the explosion,

After the dust settles, its obvious that the mountain is gone.

The carefully directed blast blows the dirt away into a new mountain, buriing all the trees in the area.

A road was buldozed through the mine to make it easier to get to the Batuixe.

The carefully directed blast blew away the dirt so the layer of Batuixe is visible and easy for extracting.

A veiw from the top of the cliff shows the mine.

Some more factories popped up too, more should soon follow.

The giant scar through the forest can be seen from airplanes flying across Maine

 Nice job, marsh!  Great narration of the train making its way through Everglade.  Are going to make an update on all of the cities in the region?  If you do, I would really like to see it.
