The River Els is a river near Thomas' Branch Line. The town of Elsbridge is named after its bridge which crosses the river.
Course[]
The river begins roughly two miles west from the village of Ulfstead and runs through the valley south of Ffarquhar. The River Callan joins the Els near the village of Elsbridge. From here, the river runs alongside Thomas' Branch Line until it meets the Sudrian Sea at Knapford Harbour. Two bridges span the river here, one carrying Thomas' Branch Line while the other carries the Main Line.
