Song: link

S.B: Now this isn't going to be like the tour thing I was doing in Episode 119. This is an actual tour of the island, but you won't be going with me. However I will be narrating as you watch the action on your own. Enjoy.

You are now at Eastwood Station, on the Eastwood & Mossberg.

Narrator: The first train that we will watch, is a passenger train, awaiting the arrival of Theresa, a Jersey Central 4-6-0 camelback.
Theresa: *Slowly backing up to her train*
Narrator: People call Theresa a camelback, because of her two cabs. A standard cab at the back, and an extra cab located at the middle of her boiler.
Theresa: *Stops as she couples up to her train*

The song fades away as Theresa's passengers get on board.

Narrator: Of course, if this was real life, people would be in her cab right now. However, since Theresa is a talking train, she is perfectly capable of moving on her own. Just like every other engine. As Theresa pulls out of Eastwood Station, she speeds along the four track mainline, proceeding to her destination of Ballantine.
Megan & Sarah: *Pass Theresa as they double head another passenger train*
Narrator: After passing a doubleheader, Theresa enters the town of Hunterdon. To the left, five miles away, is Kenny's Line. No trains are seen at the moment, but we'll check that out later.
Theresa: *Slows down to 30 after passing a yellow signal*
Narrator: To the right are six yards for passenger cars, and six roundhouses for the engines. The Eastwood & Mossberg has a large variety of steam engines. At one time, the railroad had the largest amount of engines on the island. That record is now held by the Eastern Pacific, as they currently have 26 engines on the roster. The lake of Hunterdon is also seen to the left, just before Theresa enters the next town of Mossberg.
Theresa: *Passes Margaret as she stops at Mossberg Station*
Narrator: The Hunterdon Central also stops at Mossberg Station. We were lucky enough to catch Margaret, and Alyssa stopping next to each other.
Theresa: *Increasing her speed as she starts to go uphill*
Narrator: This is a steep hill, but with eight passenger cars, Theresa has no trouble making it to the top.
Theresa: *Stops at Angler Station*
Narrator: A quick stop for coal, water, and to drop off a few passengers.
Juliette: *Flies through the station at 60 miles an hour*
Theresa: *Rings her bell as she pulls her train out of the station*
Narrator: The line to Ballantine Station is only two tracks wide. It was originally one track wide, but an extra track was built to handle more passengers.
Theresa: *Stops as she pulls into Ballantine Station*
Narrator: Theresa stops to uncouple from her train, then turn around, using a turntable. We are now at Kenny's Line, back in the town of Eastwood, as Jeff & Bryce, two Norfolk & Western diesels, are pulling into the station with auto racks.
Jeff: *Blows his horn twice as the train stops*
Narrator: Eastwood has a special area for loading, and unloading automobiles onto auto racks. Jeff, and Bryce's train are to be unloaded. These cars came from Mossberg Harbor, imported from the Midwestern region of the United States. Buicks, and Cadillacs are predominant, but some of the cars also include GMC, and a few vintage Pontiacs.
Worker: *Slowly driving a black Bonneville off of an autorack*
Narrator: One may also find a good spot to view trains on Kenny's Line, at the water reservoir in Zorrin. A park provides several good vantage points of the trains getting on, or off the bridge. Here, we see Elmo taking several tankers across.
Elmo: *Gets off the bridge*
Narrator: The Eastern Pacific also runs by a water reservoir. Though it doesn't have any bridges going over them, the views are still spectacular. Especially at Cadillac Station, where Shayne is pulling in with eight freight cars.
Sean: *Uncouples from his train*
Narrator: Mossberg Harbor is also a good spot to watch trains on the Eastern Pacific. We watch as Sean uncouples from his train, then heads for the turntable to face the right way. Other trains from the Northern Errol Line, and Mossberg Narrow Gauge Railway come in as well. Makenzie, a 2-4-0 steam engine, pulls in with four freight cars, just as Sean returns from the turntable.
Sean: *Slowly backs up to his train*
Narrator: We leave Mossberg Harbor to watch Sean at another spot. This area is nicknamed "The Crossroads" because of the way the tracks are set up. It may remind someone of a highway, as a bridge goes over the line to Santa Cruz, and four more lines connect the two of them together. Sean goes to the right, away from Santa Cruz. His destination is Belette Station.
Tabby: *Pulling three passenger cars*
Narrator: Heading towards Santa Cruz however, is an Atlantic, number 7002. Tabby pulls a fast train to Santa Cruz. The bridge into town is ten miles long.
Tabby: *Gets on the bridge, slowing down to be safe*
Narrator: Back to our silver diesel. He has just broken a new record. The fastest train from the harbor, to Belette is now 1 hour, and 2 minutes flat.
Sean: *Stops at Belette Station*
Passengers: *Clapping as Sean arrives*
Narrator: We are now in Santa Cruz. The bridge is not only ten miles long, but is very wide, in order to have enough room for four tracks. Two for the Eastern Pacific, and two for the Mossberg Narrow Gauge Railway. One track for each direction. Tabby and Bri are the usual choices for the trains that go into Santa Cruz, because their the lightest engines that are capable of handling the weight of the trains. As Bri takes off with her three coaches, Casey Jones pulls in with four.
Casey Jones: *Blows her whistle while ringing her bell*
Narrator: The passengers get off, and the train is moved to the other platform. Turntables were difficult to get into Santa Cruz, because of space, and weight, but the two railroads saw it through carefully, and got it done. As Casey Jones couples up to her train, Tabby returns with her train.
Tabby: *Stops at the station*
Casey Jones: *Blows her whistle twice, and slips for a few seconds, not able to pull her train. Her wheels slip faster as she slowly pulls out of the station*
Narrator: Casey Jones is working very hard, but at last she has some grip, and is able to pull her train. The Narrow Gauge line has only three stations for passengers. The harbor, Santa Cruz, and one more on the hill. Two freight depots are on the line just before Mossberg Harbor, about five miles apart.
Amy: *Pulling five flatcars*
Narrator: Hatti is one of four tank engines on the line, and she is also seen pulling a freight train.
Hatti: *Pulling four boxcars. She blows her whistle twice as she passes by, smiling at the camera*
Narrator: We're back at Hunterdon Station, on the Eastwood & Mossberg. This is one of those railroads, that operate steam engines only, to prevent any recreation of a dreadful event back in the 20th century called dieselization. The first train we catch in Hunterdon is Jessica, a Berkshire.
Jessica: *Passing Hunterdon Station*
Narrator: Many of the passenger trains on the E&M operate from Eastwood to Impala Station, non-stop. Another non-stop train from Impala passes by 30 minutes later.
Hannah: *Puffing by at 30 miles an hour. She blows her whistle three times as McKayla stops at the station with her train*
Narrator: Five coaches are no match for this ten-wheeler.
McKayla: *Rings her bell as she pulls out of the station*
Narrator: The Mossberg Narrow Gauge Railway isn't the only line on Errol to operate tank engines. We catch Alexis, a 2-6-2, pulling three passenger cars.
Alexis: *Stops at Hunterdon Station*
Jessica: *Blows her whistle as she passes through*
Narrator: Jessica's passing by again, on another non-stop train.
Alexis: *Pulls out of the station with her train*
Narrator: Up next is Danielle, with ten passenger cars. It seems to be a bit too much for her to handle.
Danielle: *Slips with her passenger train, leaving Hunterdon Station*
Narrator: After a violent, ten second slip, Danielle begins to increase her speed.
Danielle: *Blows her whistle twice as she begins to ring her bell*
Narrator: Niagara's aren't as common as they used to be, but one operates on the Eastwood & Mossberg.
Sammi: *Stops at Eastwood Station with her passenger train, blowing steam out of her cylinders*
Narrator: Between Mossberg Station, and Angler Station, there is a hill. Not many engines can get up here on their own, so two engines are sometimes required.
Megan & Sarah: *Double heading their passenger train*
Narrator: A lot of trains travel up this hill, so there is no shortage on the action.
Margaret: *Slipping as she gets to the top*
Brenna: *Pushing a passenger train up a hill*
Narrator: This 2-8-0 is helping another engine up the hill, but the engine she's helping doesn't seem pleased.
Juliette: *Pulling the passenger train, angrily looking at Brenna*
Narrator: She doesn't like it, thinking it's unnecessary, and disrespectful. The Eastern Pacific also has a hill, not far away from Nova Station. Unlike the Eastwood & Mossberg however, it's rare to see engines get stuck.
Marcus: *Pulling a freight train with Ian, and Rio*
Narrator: Teamwork is the way to go. These three engines have the right idea.
Devon: *Pulling a passenger train*
Narrator: Devon's destination is Impala Station. Owned by the Eastern Pacific, it also serves the Eastwood & Mossberg. Brenna makes a return as she pulls five passenger cars.
Brenna: *Slipping for five seconds before she takes off*
Mily: *Pulling into the station with six passenger cars*
Narrator: 4-6-2 number 425 once worked on the Eastwood & Mossberg, but was sold to the Eastern Pacific in 2016.
Passengers: *Getting out of the train, watching other passengers get on board*
Mily: *On the other side of her train, slowly pulling out. She quickly gains more speed as she leaves the station*
Narrator: 4-6-2 number 831 is also a former Eastwood & Mossberg engine.
Jazlin: *Passing through a railroad crossing*
Narrator: Another steam engine by the name of Lucy, starts up a freight train out of the yards.
Lucy: *Increasing speed as she pulls eight freight cars out of the yards*
Narrator: Three engines work in the yards, shunting freight cars for other engines. An Alco S2 in Santa Fe's classic blue and yellow, named Edward, works with a duo of 2-2-2 steam engines. One in brown, and the other blue. With only two drive wheels, they may not be powerful, but the steam engines work well together with Edward.
Rachael: *Moving three freight cars with Suzie*
Narrator: Lucy has returned with her freight train.
Lucy: *Blowing steam as she comes to a complete stop*
Narrator: Like Lucy, Austin is a 2-6-0, but he has no cylinders.
Austin: *Passing through Mirage Station*
Narrator: Jesse stops at Mirage station with a freight train.
Jerry & Andrew: *Passing through with their freight train*
Jesse: *Departs after dropping off the freight*
Narrator: Mily arrives with another passenger train. This time, with only five passenger cars.
Mily: *Stops at Mirage Station. After a few minutes, her train is ready to go, and she takes off*
Narrator: We move three miles west to catch Sean, on the next day.
Sean: *Going 75 miles an hour with seven coaches*
Narrator: And after a few minutes, Jazlin races through town.
Jazlin: *Going 80 miles an hour with five coaches. She passes Andrew*
Andrew: *Waiting in a siding for Jazlin to pass*
Narrator: It had just finished raining, and the sun is about to set at Tracy Station. Mily is back to six coaches as she picks up, and drops off passengers.
Mily: *Smiling at her passengers as she slows down to a complete stop*

After a few minutes, she started off again.

Narrator: We are back at Mossberg Harbor. This time to catch freight trains of the Northern Errol Line. A recently acquired Baltimore & Ohio diesel leads a freight train with a Monon BL2. The BL2 is named Robert, and the B&O Geep is Perry. Their flatcars are being loaded with pipes to take back to Zorrin.
Crane: *Loading the pipes onto one of the flatcars*
Narrator: As the two diesels head to the other end of their train, an Eastern Pacific passenger train arrives, pulled by Ian.
Ian: *Watches the freight train leave as he goes to get turned around*
Narrator: Further west, we catch more freight trains at Hunterdon Station. Robert passes through first as he heads for the harbor, while Jack heads for Zorrin.
Robert: *Passes the Hunterdon Freight Depot with five freight cars*
Jack: *Passes Robert with four freight cars*
Narrator: Next up is Carter. Despite his armor yellow livery, he has Grand Trunk logos.
Carter: *Stops at Hunterdon Station with six boxcars*
Narrator: The boxcars are being loaded up with books. A publishing company will be shipping them into many cities in the United States, starting with San Francisco. At Mossberg Harbor, Carter is seen bringing them in.
Carter: *Stops at Mossberg Harbor with his six boxcars containing books*
Sean: *Arriving with a passenger train*
Narrator: Sean comes back with another passenger train. Suppose you want to see two doubleheaders at once. Well we got you covered. As Carter and Panzer head out of the harbor with another freight train, Makenzie and Casey Jones take off with their freight.
Makenzie: *Pulling seven freight cars with Casey Jones*
Panzer: *Pulling eleven freight cars with Carter*
Mily: *Ringing her bell as she slowly pulls a passenger train*
Narrator: Mily makes a return, with an incredible display of wheel spin.
Mily: *Closes her eyes as her wheels slip for six seconds. She begins to blush as she pulls harder, but her wheels slip again*
Narrator: Blushing and sweating, the blue pacific works her heart out to move her heavy train.
Mily: *Lets out a sigh of relief as she increases speed*
Narrator: Two days later, she gets into the same predicament on a double header for the Hunterdon Central interchange.
Jazlin: *Leading the double header, her wheels slip*
Mily: *Her wheels also slip, as she blushes while closing her eyes*

The two steam engines cannot get their train moving, as their wheels continue to slip.

Jazlin: *Pouring sand on the rails. She and Mily finally have an easy time pulling their train*
Conductor: *Waving from the caboose*
Narrator: They're finally underway.
Grayback: *Stops at a station in an airport*
Narrator: When was the last time you saw a train station, in an airport?
Workmen: *Unloading his freight cars*
Narrator: The next engine to come in is Jeremy.
Jeremy: *Slowing down to a complete stop at the station in the airport. He blows his horn once as he stops*
Narrator: Snow is common on the Island Of Errol during November, and in Winter. On the last days of 2015, just before New Years Day, we caught some exciting action. First up is Jerry, on a freight train with Shayne.
Jerry: *Blows his horn twice as he passes by*
Narrator: Another double header features Shayne working with Mike "Fonzi". Better known as The Fonz.
Shayne: *Passes by with his freight train*
Narrator: Named after a character from Happy Days, Mike Fonzi is the strongest engine on the Island Of Errol. He never disappoints when it comes to heavy trains. It's dark now as some passenger trains come into view. This steam engine is unfortunately no longer with us.
Nikki: *Blows her whistle four times as she rings her bell while passing through a railroad crossing*
Narrator: We catch Ian passing through the crossing next.
Ian: *Pulling seven passenger cars*
Narrator: This next scene is near Weaver Station.
Sean: *Passing a snowman as he pulls eight passenger cars*
Children: *Building another snowman*
Narrator: These children were up late building more than just two snowmen. They built five more, plus, another one on the tracks. It was crushed half an hour later. The sun is up, but the snow isn't going anywhere.
Sammi: *Going 80 miles an hour with 11 passenger cars, making a lot of steam as she passes a snowy landscape*
Narrator: It's just under 30 degrees, as Sharon passes by next.
Sharon: *Has seven passenger cars in tow*
Narrator: We wrap up the show as we return to the Hunterdon Central. Grayback is taking freight to the Northern Errol Line interchange in Zorrin.
Grayback: *Blows his horn twice*
Narrator: Dan is up next, heading to another interchange in Zorrin, with Kenny's Line.
Dan: *Pulling seven freight cars*
Narrator: Over at the Eastern Pacific interchange, Alyssa is taking off with more freight cars. Two boxcars, a gondola, and two tankers with a caboose.
Alyssa: *Blows her whistle twice as she pulls her train*
Narrator: Thanks for watching, but it's time to go. Goodbye.
