📋 About This Mod
Deep in the bowels of the earth, the Dwemer constructed vast cities of gleaming bronze and chiseled stone. Their networks criss-crossed all of northern Tamriel, stretching from Hammerfell in the west all the way to Morrowind in the east. Now, rumors of a gleaming steam engine have emerged from the depths of Blackreach, capable of travelling at enormous speeds, and able to connect the furthest-flung outposts of the buried Dwemer civilization. Will you be able to unlock its mysteries?
Blackreach Railroad is a travel and quest mod for the steam-oriented player. It adds a locomotive, a train line, and a series of train stations around Blackreach and other Dwemer ruins. After a short quest to reactivate the train, the player may then freely ride the engine throughout Blackreach.
In addition to this, the player may choose to ride on uncharted track, thereby unlocking new stations throughout Skyrim.
And for those wondering, you do indeed get a train hat.
FEATURES

-Working train travel, perfect for people who dislike normal fast travel!
-A fully voice acted quest to reactivate the aforementioned engine.

INSTALLATION
_____________________________________________________
I recommend that you load Blackreach.esp later in your load list, especially after anything that modifies Dwemer dungeons.
To begin the quest to reactivate the train itself, head to Silent City, down in Blackreach, keep an eye out for a certain lift. You'll know it when you see it. It's got a train on it.
