Carina's journey was going well so far. Her train of four boxcars was actually 10 মিনিট early. However, she still had to stop for Delta who was heading to Thunder উপসাগর 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 বৃক্ষবিশেষ Hill.

A few hours later, Delta...

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

Rachael: Welp, see আপনি when I get back from বৃক্ষবিশেষ Hill.
Suzie: See আপনি when I get back from Sunshine.

They coupled up to their respective trains.

Rachael: *Slips, not able to সরানো 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 আরো slack on the couplings.
Rachael: *Continues slipping* I should rephrase what I ব্যক্ত earlier. I'll see আপনি 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: আপনি 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 দ্বারা 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...

Rachael continued pulling her boxcar, and caboose towards Thunder Bay. She refueled at মেঘ 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 শীর্ষ 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!...

It continued to snow as Rachael continue her journey north to Thunder উপসাগর 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, অথবা a furry coated rabbit. But for Karen?

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

Maple পাহাড় 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 উপসাগর Canada.

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

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 ঢাকি appeared as he played the...

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