+ They drive on a dirt road alongside the dried-out
+ river name. The road is in pretty poor condition and they get
+ shaken thoroughly.
+ Mary appears to be having a blast:
+ Faster! Faster!
+ I don't think Annie would appreciate
+ that.
+ Aww.
+ Annie says thanks from the rear seats.

+
+ After a bit less than ten minutes of driving, Mary points to a structure
+ extending into the river bed and says:
+ That's it.
+ Jack pulls over and parks the truck, and they get out. They walk through
+ the tall grass towards the structure. A bridge further upstream catches
+ Jack's attention.
+ Is that a road or a railway?
+ Mary says: Railway – why?
+ What's the condition like?
+ Not sure, it's been a while...
+ We used to play there as kids, we even got a railcar to move once.
+
+ Sounds like serviceable enough to me. Do you
+ know where it goes?
+ There's a train station a bit that way,
+ with a bunch of other ruins in the area.
+ And the other direction?
+ I don't know. We followed it pretty far,
+ the only thing we found is a switch.
+ Okay. Would be incredibly useful if that ended
+ up somewhere in Ivydale.
+
+ They reach the structure. It's the entrance to a tunnel + with a few walls that pertrude into the river and two + weers? translate: Stauwehre / Wehre, one for + controlling the inflow? tanslate: Zufluss, + one for a bypass. The floor of the tunnel sits significantly beneath + the river bed and, while the river bed is completely dry, there is still + some water inside. + + +
