《Steam of Britain》Chapter 56: How it All Began(LMS)

Euston Station is the biggest station of the former London Midland and Scottish Railway. Here, some of the older engines were just repainted.
An Ivatt Class
The Duchess of Hamilton
and Steve.
Harold was built after nationalization, and he was not all too happy with his paint. "It's not fair!" he complained, "I was never painted in a color I wanted!" "British Railways will not do it you know, so just do the best you can," said Steve.
Harold did stop complaining a bit, and he worked as hard as he could. Just then, a new engine to be trialed was brought in.
His name was Den, and he was a new shunter, and his class was popping up all over. He was tasked with shunting. He banged the trucks, spilling loads, and putting coaches in the wrong places. Harold had to reorganize everything. Soon, Den was pushing the trucks in place, and he looked at the train he shunted. "Why does that useless kettle have to take this train? I can pull this no sweat! I beat he stalls before he even leaves!"
Den then had an idea, was coupled up to the train, and he thought he was being cleaver. Duchess then came, and said, "You're not actually thinking of pulling that, are you?" "I am. You can't pull heavy trains anymore. You're past it!" Duchess then said, "But your job is to shunt trains, not pull them. Harold hasn't taught you-" "I don't need to learn anything!" snapped the diesel, "I passed by tests, and I'm ready to go out!!" He then headed off, and Duchess said, "He'll be in trouble soon."
The diesel pulled the hardest he could, and his engine was starting to strain. No sooner had he reached the platform, his engine spluttered, and he broke down. "Oh grease and oil!" he said. The station master, and inspector came, and the inspector said, "WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING AT DEN!?! An engine like you should know that you can't pull trains this heavy!!" "Were you going to give it to one of those useless steam engines?" "Those USELESS engines are much better than you diesels will ever be!! This is why I never like the modernization plan, the new diesels are always making fools of themselves!! Now, once you are repaired, you can stay in the shed, until you learn to listen!!"

Steve took his train, and he made up for lost time. One of the new diesels then said, "Oh look, out dated rubbish doing our job." "Well, maybe if you all didn't show off and break down all the time, WE wouldn't spoil your image!!" The diesels were shocked. Steve was turned around, and headed back to Euston.

The Darkness in this world runs deep. It flows like blood in veins of the wicked; thick dark, and invisible unless cut out. I am the blade who seeks to cut it out. But yet, even I am a creature of the same darkness -Cain

8 108The Boy in the Tunnel
Fall semester. 1997. At a strange Southern college, freshman Tim's eerily prescient Student Handbook tells him he's going to fall in love with 6'6" sophomore Joanie. But Joanie has more important things to deal with than a weird crush - like a creepy English professor, a hallucinogenic drug that's chipping away at her sanity, and a war between rival secret societies that could destroy the University before Tim and Joanie find out if their love is real, or just fiction.Recommended if you like: impossible architecture, books that can tell the future, made-up games with overcomplicated rules, portentous graffiti, secret codes, first love, intense hallucinations, 80s and 90s pop culture, a world that's just a couple degrees off from reality, and a coming-of-age story set in a manufactured community that lets you try on different possible futures - aka college.New chapters of The Boy in the Tunnel post every Friday.
