Eisengraf

The Eisengraf (アイゼングラーフ号), also called the "Iron Count" (鉄の伯爵) is a personal express train reserved for use by members of the Imperial government.

Background
The Eisengraf is a high-performance train favoured by Giliath Osborne for travel. It is noted as being a 'symbol of the Empire' and as completely outclassing other trains in a league of its own.

Cars 2, 3, 5 and 6 are passenger cars. they have a red aand tan-yellow color style with four doors on the four corners with a rail bar dividing boarding passengers into their seats & the stair rail. There is also an ornate double sliding door leading to the next car in addition to paintings on both sides. The walkways are carpeted in red while the seating on left and right of the train are cast in bronze with violet cushioned seats, decorative candle lightings and double sliding windows with elaborate curtains. Above the door leading to the next car is the Imperial Family’s heraldry.

Car 4 in between the main passenger cars,is intended for dining. To the left of the car is a bar stand with red cushion seats on silver bolted stools. Behind the bar stand is a large glass shelf case filled with drinking glasses, crockery, silverware, and customary wine products. There are eight cushion patted lounge chairs on the right side, opposite of the bar stand with small lounge circle stool table in the middle of four chairs each. From there are four dark violet cushion couches for seating 9-12 people and a couch with colorful cushioning on the four corners of the car. There are flat wooden tables with table diamond tablecloths with a flower vase on them.

Car 1 is the main guest car. From the right side is a magenta cushion couch lounge with side pillows. There are table stands to hold books. Closer to the train is an important guest bed and two cushion chairs near the rail guards by the doors. Additionally, there is an office table and chair together with an Orbal computer by the left side, near the door leading to the train’s engine. Across from a plant vase is a cabinet shelf holding crockery, silverware and wine bottles. There appear to be no side doors, so the only thoroughfares are towards the train engine or out into the passenger car behind this one.

The Eisengraf makes its series debut as the means with which Giliath makes his entry into Crossbell for the West Zemuria Trade Conference. By-standing mechanic and train enthusiast Reed notes its spectacular design and prestige.

In August S.1204, Rean Schwarzer, Gaius Worzel, Emma Millstein, Laura S. Arseid, Millium Orion and Claire Rieveldt saw the Eisengraf passing through Celdic's train station en route to Crossbell City, carrying Chancellor Osborne, Prince Olivert and Towa Herschel for the West Zemuria Trade Conference.

During the Erebonian Civil War, the Noble Alliance seized control of the Eisengraf, giving it to Heidel Rogner. Heidel kidnapped Irina Reinford and kept her hostage on board the Eisengraf, and hired Nidhoggr jaegers to guard it.

In December S.1204, Class VII and Angelica Rogner went to the Sachsen Iron Mine's freight station, where the train was located, to rescue Irina from the group of jaegers. As they got close to it, the jaegers were alerted of their presence and moved the train out of the mine towards Roer. Class VII managed to board the train before it went away and fought their way to the front. Upon reaching the front car where Irina was being held, Sharon Kreuger, who was hiding inside the train, appeared and took care of the remaining jaeger threatening the Chairman, freeing her.

Trivia

 * The train was titled after Giliath Osborne.
 * Millium was supposedly given a bear by the Chancellor which she left there and forgot to recover until after Irina's rescue.
