From: Convene a Board Meeting of the Great Hellbound Railway
There's no other sort of terrain out there, now. It is all shifting, unknowable territory, no matter how many times you survey it: pocked with the battles of Hell.
Game Instructions: This approach will be disapproved by those who side with the Church and those who support the status quo.

Success
Desolate territory
Beyond Burrow-Infra-Mump, the land is shifting mud and the weapons of past wars lie discarded. You cannot lay down a precise plan. You can only make guesses and hope for the best.
Description summary:
The text above is preceded by another paragraph if the Efficient Commissioner is on the board. Several other board members also offer additional comments.

| Board Member | Remark |
|---|---|
 The Efficient Commissioner | As the proposal begins, everyone looks to the Efficient Commissioner – some dreading, others rather looking forward to a hysterical interruption […] None comes. She does not speak. […] her eyes are circled in darkness: she cannot be sleeping well. |
 Bishop of Southwark | "Now it's one thing – one absurd, unwise thing – to build a railway towards hell," fumes the Bishop of Southwark. "It's quite another to start trampling the sacred ground our boys died on in the wars against the Devils." |
 January | "The whole area could be an exhibit at my Museum," January says. "Probably wouldn't fit, though. Unless..." She sketches something on a piece of scratch paper, which promptly catches fire. Groaning ensues from the rest of the Board. |
 September | "I dinnae think there's anything there but auld bones o' foolish men and cursed Devils," September muses. "Perhaps if we dig some up, I fancy I'd make myself a wreath." |
