San Juan Branch Line: Crummy Luck Part 2

Watch Part 1 of this story here! • San Juan Branch Line: ...
Moving freight has always been hard work, especially for the strong mainline engines like Kent, Wes and Ellis. When it seems like they are approaching their limits, the appearance of a mysterious, "bobber," caboose changes the outcome of their jobs. As cabooses themselves are falling from mainstream use, how will the superpowered machines treat their newfound lucky charm?

Whoa the end was terrifying. The 0-8-0 t tank engine ghost took the bobber caboose after many years it returned.

[@harrisonofcolorado8886]

Hey, that guy at the end. Is the Ghost train from one of the earlier SJBL episodes! I think we're gonna have another SJBL Halloween episode.

[@Somerandompokemon]

Apparently that bobber belonged to that 0-8-0 switcher’s ghost

Probably the best pair of two episodes to date. Good job High Iron.

Wes: Listen, Kent; That caboose is powerful, but it’s also evil. Look at what it has done to Ellis. Kent: But, without it, I’m nothing. Wes: Kent, we’re nothing without you. Same cartoon referenced in the comments of the previous part.

Well done. You could have Sidney and Annie to be the main engines to take a long late-night Amtrak train to Los Angeles at the next episode where they can assist the female Amtrak diesel because I want to see more of Annie and Sidney. #GiveFemaleCharactersAChance

[@amfan_17presentations87]

Agree!

[@RailsofMichigan]

Well I must say this episode I really liked I love what Ellis did with those bobbers made me laugh so hard but the ending after the credits I was like "WHAT" one hell of a plot twist raises alot more questions but I am sure they will be answered in the next several episodes now my one question was answered if we would ever see a return of the Tank Engine again. So I hope we shall see another Halloween episode with him. This does explains why that bobber was so L.U.C.K.Y whenever one of them used it.

[@alexanderpoirier3350]

So the bobber belongs to the ghost switcher and Train Master seems to have a relationship with said engine. So, is this ghostly engine good or bad? And does this have anything to do with San Juan using steamers? So many questions...but I digress. Great work and very enter-train-ing as usual!
