First of all, this is my first serious attempt at a challenge, so do not expect a masterpiece, but I intend to do my best.

Well ... When I saw this challenge, I was very excited, but had no idea what to do. Inspiration order started to read everything I found on railways, the principles of this technology through the history of the railroads during the nineteenth century and twentieth centuries. Finally I had an idea long while reading about the construction of the Trans-Siberian railway.

My idea for the show was "A railroad (which is the fastest and safest way to transpote in this period of history) built by a state in the old continent, to facilitate access to their colonies in the new continent, the only possible way is through the north pole, which is a strip of land almost uninhabitable, and disputed by neighboring countries."

Here is the sketch.
