The Railroad is an underground movement working to free sentient androids from their creators, The Institute. The Railroad also aids in assisting runaway human slaves.

BackgroundEdit

There is little available information about either the Railroad or the Institute, but the Lone Wanderer becomes involved in their conflict during the quest The Replicated Man in Rivet City, where a scientist named Dr. Zimmer requests aid in capturing a runaway android, and Railroad agent Victoria Watts pleads with the character to take pity on the android and fake its/his death.

The Railroad's methods for aiding in escape can be extreme, going so far as to find doctors to perform full facial reconstruction on escapees.

The Railroad is known to operate in the Capital Wasteland and at least as far north as the Commonwealth.

Dr. Zimmer, the android, and Ms. Watts give very logical and convincing arguments for their point of view, and the player must make an ethical choice based on the limited information he or she gains from each of them. There are multiple "good Karma" solutions.
