Granger Rail Tales (Ep. 1) - Workplace

It's the year 1968 in Fort Madison, Iowa. Eddy, ATSF #1316, a 4-6-2, from San Angelo, Texas has just been restored to operating condition to work on a shortline in Illinois. The shortline's name, the Illinois & Western Railway Company. Eddy meets the carefree manager and is given a rundown of the line as he regains his bearings. But is this so called I&W really what it seems to be? This Pacific engine is in for a long ride.

Another series? You may be thinking. Yup, if you recall from my computer crash video earlier this year, I mentioned I planned to create a new Trainz series to replace the Marysville, Cass City, and Hiawatha series' as I plan out what to do with those shows. Whether it be cancel them or attempt minor rebuilds and resume the shows as shorts, I will decide on that ultimately. At the moment, it isn't something I'm focusing on for now. I've also addressed that matter in my fourth Q&A video. The San Juan-Marysville crossover has been filmed as well. Anyway, hope you enjoy this new series and let me know what you think! A big thank you to all the people who helped voice act in this and thank you for watching!

Our story is fabulous. I would love to see more choo choo stories if you want to produce them.How heartwarming to see how the engineer loves the engine and is his tour guide. I can imagine people interacting with real engines that way. I know Union Pacific 844 .met him in 2007 . I call the engine Ernie

Oddly enough that you should use Santa Fe 1316 for this, as she is still with us (And in Texas) today. Though she hasn't run since the late 90's or early 2000's and needs a major rebuild, she is currently owned by the Texas State Railroad.

[@burlingtonfan7492]

Didn’t expect to get a notification for this, but that’s okay, because this first episode was great. I might be biased because I love the Santa Fe. Also, what’s with the Super Fleet FP45s on the Super C? If I recall they were on passenger trains in 1968 and weren’t in the Super Fleet scheme until the early 90’s

[@sirrliv]

Is this based on actual Illinois railroad history by any chance? I'm just taken aback by the mention of so many different track gauges in this railroad's past; 3ft, 30in, pretty sure I even heard mention of 2ft in there somewhere. Might be showing lack of overall knowledge on my part, but I'm always kind of surprised to hear about narrow gauge being used in America outside of the mountains of Colorado & New Mexico or the thick forests of Maine.
