The link above has a detailed class overview and lists a few sample skills, but here's just a bit of class lore to get you started:
RAILMASTER LORE
The earliest historical tomes in Alberen recount the inevitable greed of man’s plumbing of the depths of the long-abandoned dwarven ruins. The incredible ancient technology looted there brought humans great dominion over the land, in particular, the dwarven railways. Mastery of these technologies gave rise to the first human empire, the Rail Kingdoms. The most clever, technically-minded of these folk became the Railmasters.
Though the reign of the Rail Kingdom was both long and prosperous, it—like the dwarven kingdoms of old—came to an end. The overthrow of the Rail Kingdom’s leaders heralded the beginning of what we now call the Ember Empire. The Rail Kingdoms are no more, but the Railmasters live on.
Following in the tracks of their ancestors, each Railmaster passes on their hammer and knowledge to their apprentice. These rough and tumble tinkerers are quite literally the engine that brings civilization cascading in behind wherever they dare to push into the Frontier.
