Song (Start at 38:10): link

A beautiful afternoon started in Jim Thorpe. It was unusually warm too as the temperatures were in the 50's.

Mily: Okay, everyone ready to go to Port Clinton?
Passengers: Yes!
Mily: Then here we go! *Blows her whistle twice, and pulls her six car passenger train*

Sean was pulling another passenger train with five Amfleets. He started his journey from a new station in Pittston. His signal was red so he had to stop on the wye.

Mily: *Sees her signal is red too* Hey Sean.
Sean: Hey.
Mily: I'm surprised you look upset. It's a great day.
Sean: I know, but it's gonna take more...

Dawn arrived on Universal Lines. Tower was about to wake up, and inform the engines to get to work, but he was awaken by the puffing of three engines. Tillie, Rachael, and Suzie.

Tillie: Mornin' Tower.
Tower: Hello Tillie. Good to see you, and the others bright, and early.
Rachael: We don't want our friends being late.
Suzie: *Couples onto Farnsworth's express. She slips as she moves the five car train to the station platform*
Sid: *Yawns as he stops next to Tower* You three need a hand with anything?
Tillie: Nope, you can go ahead with that milk train.
Sid: Alright, thank you.

While Sid went to drop...

The majority of engines on Universal Lines are steam powered. Farnsworth, and Jeff are the only two exceptions. While Jeff is a switcher who occasionally helps Doc rescue other engines that either broke down, or derailed, Jeff is normally used for short freights, and maintenance work. Farnsworth is a bigger diesel that only pulls the express. Rachael, one of the new engines, always admired Farnsworth for his sleek design, and wanted to pull the express just like him.

Rachael: *Stops next to Farnsworth at Basic Station* Hi Farnsworth.
Farnsworth: Oh. It's you. *Looks away from her*
Rachael: You're...

Owensville Yard - 2013

Tower: *Sadly looking down at Tillie & Georgia*
Tillie: What's wrong?
Tower: Our budget's not looking good. I'm selling you two to another railroad.
Georgia: Are we comin' back anytime soon?
Tower: I hope you can. Good luck on your new railroad.

The Island Of Errol - 1 year later

Mr. Swanson: Your narrow gauge rebuilds are complete.
Tillie: Cool.
Georgia: What can we do first?
Mr. Swason: I'd like you girls to pull freight trains to Mossberg Harbor.

1 hour later at Mossberg Harbor

Tillie: This is nice.
Georgia: I agree.
Sean: *Arrives with a passenger train*
Tillie: He reminds me...

All the engines were gathered in the yards to hear an announcement from Tower.

Tower: I'm pleased to inform you that we have another engine joining us.
Tillie: Cool!
Jeff: Another diesel?
Tower: Yes. He's also green, but in a much darker shade than you.

And with that, Sid arrived.

Sid: Pleased to meet you lot.
Tower: Everyone, welcome Sid.
Farnsworth: Good day.
Pete: Pleased to meet you kid.
Sayaka: Welcome to Universal Lines.
Tower: Right then. Here are your jobs.

Sid's first job was to take two gondolas of milk to the dairy. When that was done, he would travel with a short freight from St. David's to...

Tower was on his cell phone. He wanted to listen to some music.

Tower: *Has his cell phone hooked up to loudspeakers, and selects a song on YouTube*

Song: link

Tower: *Looks down at the ground*

The camera zooms in on his face as the song begins.


Inside the Owensville station a black man was break dancing to the song playing on a radio.

Bystanders: *Headbanging while making a rock sign with their right hands*
Tower: *Headbanging while playing air guitar*
Bystanders: *Surrounding Tower while slowly waving lit candles*

As Tower pretended to play guitar, an actual drummer appeared as he played the...

Previously in episode 2.

Tillie: Who's going to run on the new line?
Worker: You all will at some point. Tower's even buying a new engine to help out.

---

Pete: A new engine, huh?

---

Pete: Ah, an intermodal. Tower you shouldn't have.
Tower: Sorry Pete. This is for the new engine.
Sayaka: My pleasure. *Happily puffs to her train*

---

Pete: I wanted that new engine's train. She stole it from me.
Jeff: Come on Pete, you gotta let the new engine learn what to do so she can become successful.
Pete: And steal my work? I don't think so.

Later in Basic, Pete waited for Sayaka to arrive with a passenger train.

Pete:...

Crews had finally completed building a new line for freight trains. They called it the Rosslare Subdivision since it ran to Rosslare Depot, which itself was near Rosslare Harbor in Ireland. The people from St. George Island could sometimes have an easy time seeing the people in Rosslare. So, the town decided to name the end of the line Rosslare Depot, and the town itself was called Little Ireland.

Tillie: *Pulls 2 boxcars into St. David's Station*
Worker: Thank you Tillie.
Tillie: You're welcome. Who's going to run on the new line?
Worker: You all will at some point. Tower's even buying a new engine...

The next day, Sean had a longer run to Pittston. Instead of starting at Port Clinton, he would begin at the Reading Outer Station. Chaffee was passing him with a freight train.

Chaffee: *Pulling his B-unit, and 9 freight cars* This is disgraceful. I should be pulling passengers.
Sean: Well, aren't you guys called F-unit's for a reason?
Chaffee: You're an F-unit too buddy!
Sean: Yeah, but I was originally intended for passenger service. You older guys are freight units.
Chaffee: We ain't all built for freight. The F doesn't indicate us being freight units. It means, I have a full width cowlbody.
Sean:...

In Port Clinton, a Reading 6 Chime whistle was heard, along with loud chuffing from a steam engine.

Sean: I guess we already know who that is.
Jazlin: Hopefully the rails stay dry for her.
S.B: No more rain. It should evaporate off the rails soon enough.
Mily: *Passing through the Port Clinton station with her train at 30 miles an hour. She gives four short blasts of her whistle, and passes Sean & Jazlin*
Al: *Blows his horn twice*

Besides Mily, three diesels were moving the freight. Al & Falcon, two SD50's were at the front with her, and pushing at the rear was Joey.

Jazlin: You know, it...

It was a rainy day in Jim Thorpe. Lots of clouds were pouring rain on the ground, while some clouds also shot out lightning. A Norfolk Southern freight train was making it's way downhill past the bridge wye.

Waiting near the bridge for a clear track to Port Clinton were four engines, Mily, a blue pacific #425. Jazlin, a pink pacific #831. Sean, an Amtrak F40PH #338, and Joey. A Reading & Northern SD40-2 #3058.

NS SD70ACC: *Waiting for the freight to clear, then goes uphill while running light*
Mily:...

That night, Delta began to help Rachael, and Suzie with their revenge plan against Carina.

Delta: I overlooked the schedule for Carina's freight. She's supposed to take two hoppers, and four boxcars to the Canadian Pacific's Sunshine Interchange yard. All of them are supposed to be empty.
Rachael: Hm. I see a good way to sabotage her work.
Suzie: How?
Rachael: Instead of giving her empty boxcars, we'll make them full. Suzie can take the empties before Carina does.
Delta: What about the hoppers?
Rachael: Leave that to me. I know exactly how to fool with Carina.

The following day, Rachael, and Suzie...

Rachael continued pulling her boxcar, and caboose towards Thunder Bay. She refueled at Cloud Lake, and resumed her journey through the snow covered landscape.

Rachael: *Puffing at 45 miles an hour* There's the hill. I don't see any snow on the tracks though.

That would soon change. Thankfully it was towards the top of the hill. Rachael just had to clear the snow out of her way, and she could continue down the line.

Rachael: *Pushing the snow out of her way while slowing down to 30 miles an hour* Almost there. Almooost...*Wheelslips* Come on! *Pours sand, but her wheels still slip* I can make it!...

This is a Trainz Fan Fiction. A prequel showing how Rachael, and Suzie joined the Eastern Pacific in 2015.



Maple Hill Minnesota. December, 2014

It was a sunny afternoon with plenty of snow on the ground. A freight depot is seen as a brown 2-2-2 steam locomotive happily waits for her signal to turn green. This beautiful engine is named Rachael, and she's about to take a refrigerated boxcar north, to Thunder Bay Canada.

The only other car in her consist was a caboose. Both cars were the same shade...

Song: link

The next day, Rachael, and Suzie started their work. Each engine had to pull 3 boxcars, and a caboose.

Rachael: Welp, see you when I get back from Maple Hill.
Suzie: See you when I get back from Sunshine.

They coupled up to their respective trains.

Rachael: *Slips, not able to move her train*
Suzie: *Grunts as she wheelslips*
Rachael: *Blushing as her wheels continue to slip* Ah!! Ah!!
Suzie: *Slowly backs up, and moves her train forward* There we go. Just needed more slack on the couplings.
Rachael: *Continues slipping* I should rephrase what I said earlier. I'll see you if I get back.
Suzie:...

Chester is a Chesapeake & Ohio GP30. He was refueling when Suzie delivered two centerbeams to him.

Chester: Much appreciated my blue friend.
Suzie: You're welcome my blue friend.
Chester: *Chuckles* I better get these onto my train. Cya when I get back.
Suzie: You got it. *Uncouples from the centerbeam, and goes back to Rachael*

Rachael looked down at the manager when Suzie arrived. Both engines felt nervous.

Miss. Teresa: Well, well. The two 2-2-2's side by side. You've been on this line for ten days now, and I must say I'm not pleased with what I'm seeing.
Rachael: Come again?
Miss. Teresa: Your...

It continued to snow as Rachael continue her journey north to Thunder Bay Canada, but the line ahead of her was already plowed.

Rachael: It's getting really cold. *Watches a snowflake land near her left eye* I bet it's warmer in the refrigerator car. *Blows her whistle twice while increasing speed to 40 miles an hour*

Now actually, a refrigerated boxcar is a splendid way to travel. Splendid that is, if one is a snowman, or a furry coated rabbit. But for Karen?

Karen: *Shivering as she sneezes*
Frosty: Are you cold Karen? Now that's a silly question. You wouldn't be sneezing if you weren't cold....

Carina's journey was going well so far. Her train of four boxcars was actually 10 minutes early. However, she still had to stop for Delta who was heading to Thunder Bay with his passenger train.

Carina: *Stops in a siding* Oh, how convenient. A refueling depot. *Gets coal, and water while waiting in the siding*
Delta: *Blows his horn twice as he passes with his train*
Carina: *Watching the shiny blue, and yellow coaches on Delta's train*
Delta: *Looking back at Carina* Where's Rachael? I hope she's okay.
Carina: *Leaves her siding* And now I got a clear track to Maple Hill.

A few hours later, Delta...

Rachael, and Suzie were only a few miles away from Maple Hill. They thought they would be safe, but they saw a headlight behind them with more smoke.

Rachael: *Looking behind her* Carina?
Suzie: Carina.
Rachael: Well we're already at our top speed of 50. How fast does she go?
Suzie: I'd rather not find out.
Carina: *Travelling at her top speed of 60* I'll close in on those two very soon.

Delta & Chester were also following Carina.

Delta: You realize Miss. Teresa will scrap us for this, right?
Chester: Not if we join different railroads.
Delta: But where will we go?
Chester: I don't know! But I'm...
