abstract:Dark territory is a term used in the North American railroad industry to describe a section of running track not controlled by signals. Train movements in dark territory were previously handled by timetable and train order operation, but since the widespread adoption of two way radio communications these have been replaced by track warrants and direct traffic control, with train dispatchers managing train movements directly.
Trains are run on a similar, manual-block fashion on long, unsignaled sections of freight and passenger railroad in the country, so-called darkterritory.
Not that Solstheim was short on ice and crags, but at the very least we can hope to see some serious rivalry between Nords and Dark Elves playing out across this new territory.
