[RFC?] The British Columbia Ethereal Railway
[RFC?] The British Columbia Ethereal Railway
#1
Before BC Hydro took on that name and gobbled up almost all the other power companies in the province, it was the BC Electric Railway Company. The BCER ran the streetcar networks in Victoria and Vancouver (and BC Hydro continued to be responsible for public transit until 1980!), and also operated a number of interurban lines.

I've wanted for a while to write up something about BC Hydro in Fenspace invoking this history, probably involving ghostly streetcars or interurban trams, but nothing has gelled so far. One of the big holes in the setting is events below the Kármán Line, and I was hoping to add something small about my corner of the world. The ghost trams probably have something to do with BC Hydro starting to use Handwaved equipment, but I struggle to pin down any details.

I hesitate to post this with so little content, but I don't want to hold the idea in my head forever and possibly forget it, either.

That sounds like a great basis for stories.

Alas, I have nothing to offer for it.
