The Desk Railway

The Desk Railway (DR) is a British railway company exclusively operating on the Desk. Formed sometime before 2006, it has been the primary transportation system on the Desk since its introduction, and has rapidly expanded since its supposed humble beginnings in 2006. Since before 2007, the railway company was owned and managed by Tobias Tophatt, who is solely responsible for the ongoing financial crisis plaguing the Desk Railway recently. Whilst by 2006 the Desk Railway comprised of a simplistic circuit, however following a grant in additional funding, the line expanded to establish a branch line operated by the Metroliner diesel-electric locomotive, which was further expanded by 2008 to include a mainline across the Desk. By 2010, the DR's managing director Tobias Tophatt had invested in a business scheme of deficit financing by exclusively purchasing locomotives to attract enthusiasts, however following his primary lender's entry into "financial bother", it began withdrawing all credit facilities from its customers, including the Desk Railway. The financial crisis has yet to be resolved.
