Editing Ashwood Southeastern Railroad (section)

== History ==
The ASER was initially started in 1898 by some of the early United States settlers as the Ashwood Transport Company. The original line ran from [[Ashwood]] to the Pine River to transport goods to Ashwood. Nothing of the line other than the part in Ashwood remains to this day, being abandoned and ripped out in 1920. 

=== East Line ===
In 1916, work had begun on two new lines, one heading east out of Ashwood and one heading south. The East Line was completed in 1923, after several construction problems in the Sierra Vista mountains and Silver Ridge mountain range. The line was built to the brand new settlement of Quincy, which would later grow to be one of the biggest cities in New Territories. The line would be extended east out of Quincy to the towns of Marion, San Rafael and Fargo.

=== South Line ===
Almost immediately after work had begun on the East Line, work on the South Line had also begun. The line was initially completed in 1919, connecting Ashwood to what would become Ashwood's military base, later on [[Ashwood International Airport|Ashwood's Airport]] and the future [[CoalPort]]. The line later was expanded in the late 20's all the way down to what's now known as Edison. After this line was completed, the company was renamed to Ashwood & Southeastern.
