Success

(See table below)

Furnace packs away the supplies. […]"The Tracklayers spend long months away from their families, assuming they have any at all."

You do not see her for some days. When you do, she has found you at home, and her news is less conciliatory.

Description summary:
The above text is for the first stretch of tracks en route to the Evenlode. For other stretches and the title variations, see the tables below.

Previously Struck?	Title
No	That will do
Yes	Complicated ground

Track Laid	First Paragraph
1 (No longer accessible)	[…] The hills are difficult. Explode them in one place, and they'll come back somewhere else. […] Tunnels cave in, or grow teeth. "I think they mean that something with teeth moved into the tunnel," remarks Furnace […]
2	[…] remains of old roads, and roadside burials. Highwaymen are supposed to live in these hills. And once, the Tracklayers say, they break open a barrow accidentally, and three of them fall straight asleep and cannot be woken, until they seal it again.
3	"Couple of Union men went off to live in the hills," says Furnace this time. "We'll probably see them wearing kilts and holding up a train next." She says it lightly, as though this is just one of the fortunes of the work. But she looks annoyed.
4	"Won't be sorry to be through this land," says Furnace. "It's heavy work. But we can see the Evenlode now, even if it's a long way off. One good thing about building over high ground. Get a view of where you're going."
