The Polar Express

Carina's journey was going well so far. Her train of four boxcars was actually 10 minutos early. However, she still had to stop for Delta who was heading to Thunder baya 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 punungkahoy ng mepl Hill.

A few hours later, Delta...

Maple burol 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 baya Canada.

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

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

Rachael: *Looking behind her* Carina?
Suzie: Carina.
Rachael: Well we're already at our tuktok speed of 50. How fast does she go?
Suzie: I'd rather not find out.
Carina: *Travelling at her tuktok 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 sumali different railroads.
Delta: But where will we go?
Chester: I don't know! But I'm...

Another night was spent for our main characters having another private conversation.

Suzie: I spoke to another engine from the Canadian Pacific.
Rachael: Oooh. You going out on a date?
Suzie: No. He just happened to mention another railroad where we might be able to do work without being ridiculed. The Eastern Pacific?
Rachael: Do we have to go east to get there?
Suzie: Nuh-uh. It's called the Eastern Pacific, because it operates mostly on the eastern side of Errol Island, a new island created a couple of years ago.
Rachael: And where is it?
Suzie: Near California. Some trains even travel on a bridge...
