The fastest way to cross Antarctica is to Teleport. The second fastest way is to take the Trans-tundra Express, a pitchblend-powered high-speed train that hurtles over the interior tundra at roughly 100 miles per hour. With stops factored in, it covers all of its 414 hexes in exactly one day. The Trans-tundra express runs on a five-foot gauge track. In most areas, the trackbed is elevated on a 10' mound of ballast, situating the line slightly above the monotonous flatness of the Antarctic interior. A bridge is present at every waterway crossing, but bridges of substantial size (such as might serve as landmarks for those traveling by foot) are marked as points of interest. This is roughly 3/4ths of the planned POIs (the tundra is quite sparse). I'm also working on writing up a keyed map of the train and some canned situations that might occur while aboard. StationsStations are indicated with a 🚉 emoji. At these locations, the train typically stops just long enough for passengers to…
