Sodor Infected

A Trams Sprint

Thomas started going off saying how we were wasting time and that he needed to check his branch line for Annie and Clarabel, I swear sometimes that tank engine cares more for his coaches than his own colleagues. Anyways, after some conversing with George, Skarloey and Rheneas, we came to the conclusion we should head up to Vicarstown to check on the surviving engines but once again Thomas was ranting about having to check his line so after we finally agreed, he raced off and just left us dumbfounded. Like I said, cares for his coaches more than us...

2:58 pm:

After Edward got back from Kirk Ronan, we headed to Vicarstown and yeah, like Percy said, the engines he mentioned were all there, along with some survivong people. They were all shocked to see us and happy too, Neville asked if there were anymore of us and I said that Thomas went back to his branch line to find his coaches, Neville and the others weren't surprised.

3:34 pm:

I can't believe he found them! What I'm talking about I'll tell you in a minute. I received a call on my phone and it was Bob, he explained in a happy tone what they found. So when Thomas was near his branch line he said he should check Elsbridge Station first to see if anyone was hiding in the station. But before he could he noticed a boxy shape and another shape sitting in the goods shed near the station, he came closer and couldn't believe who he found, it was Toby and Emily! Who were equally surprised.

He asked Toby and Emily how long they were there and how they survived the explosion, Emily said she was at Vicarstown the day the explosion happened, since she was at Vicarstown she decided to stay where she was. After a while she headed down the main line and didn't see much, soon she reached Elsbridge and found an exhausted Toby sitting at the platform. She asked him about his experience and she told her all about it.

As Toby was checking on Henrietta, his driver decided to tell the story instead on the other end, so here's was happened.

(Paul: Tobys driver)

It all started as we pulled into Dryaw, the sirens started to blare to which Toby said we should be worried but I, being the idiot I was told him not worry. Then it happened, A massive explosion boomed in the distance which sent all of us into a state of panic, Toby rang his bell and yelled for everyone to get on board without a second to spare, everyone boarded and was urging Toby to go and we didn't hesitate. After a quick wheesh of steam, Toby raced off like a bullet. We could feel the heat slowly rising, but that didn't stop us as we rumbled over the Dryaw bridge. Soon the shockwave hit and it was powerful enough to shatter pretty much all of the windows in Henrietta, this didn't stop Toby as he knew he had to keep going.

Toby said he was starting to feel very tired as we passed the windmill and said he wasn't used to going at such high speeds, but I told him we would stop once we reached Elsbridge, Toby agreed and pressed on.

Soon enough we saw the bend leading to Elsbridge station and Toby sighed with relief as did everyone else. Toby was relieved to have finally made it but was not pleased about having to nearly knock himself to bits, I told him he had to for the sake of everyone's safety but I don't think he was listening, he seemed to be thinking hard about something.

(Back to Felix)

I asked Toby over the phone what he was thinking about and he said why the fat man thought that facility was a great idea, honestly I know how he feels.
