This was a pretty cool excursion service journey with Nickel Plate Road 587 pulling the fair train at the Indiana Transportation Museum in Fishers, Indiana. Before it was put out of service in 2002. Norfolk & Western 1218 had also did a great job in this film for just a short time, even though it’s sad the locomotive has discontinued excursion servicing since 1994. However for Norfolk & Western 611, it did a wonderful operation in this film before being put out service in 1994, and displayed at the Virginia Museum of Transportation in Roanoke, Virginia for the next 20 years until 2015. It’s still in service to this day. I did got to see the locomotive in operation back in September 5th 2021 at the Strasburg Railroad during it’s visit.

Edith (NKP 587) Chase sequence from Poppy Playtime Chapter 3(with the addition of Ryker) (The scene starts with Ryker entering the shop.) Ryker: Man, this place is really run down. This place hasn't been used for years. These mini NKP Mikados are really crazy. Hope I don't encounter them again. (Ryker enters the back of the shop where Edith is in a cage, legless. As Ryker begins to walk past him, Edith begins to talk to him.) Edith: You... You're ITMs angel. Ryker: Yes, I am. Edith: Come to save us. Ryker: I'll try to. Edith: Nothing left to save, not here... Ryker: I know. Edith: You're in the Kentucky Steam Heritage Corps home, angel. Their home. A million pairs of eyes are on you now. Watching, waiting, hungry. They want nothing more than to crawl beneath your skin and eat away at you bit by little bit. Riker: Wow, so the KSHC is all up to this. Edith: Fill whatever feels empty inside themselves. That... thing... the KSHC. Kentucky is his god, and this is what he does to heretics. Ryker: Wait, so Kentucky is the one that's causing all of this? No wonder I've been encountering these crazy trains. Edith: These little trains follow the KSHC to avoid that very fate, and in return they are fed. We tried to fight it, Kentucky's control. I'm... the last of the NKP Mikados. Listen to me, you need to get out of this place. You need to live. Ryker: No, I'm not leaving you here. I need to save you. Edith: You and ITM could fix this, end this madness, the torment... (The mini Mikados approach Edith.) Edith: Oh no... OH NO! Leave me. Please. Just go!... RUN! (Screams as the mini Mikados slowly enter him. Ryker watches on horror as the Mikados power slowly overpower Edith, making him choke.) Ryker: OH MY GOD!!!! (The power of the mini Mikados overwhelms Edith, turning him into a monster. The strength of the Mikados makes him tear down the cables holding him up, and he slowly crawls out of the cage, crawling towards Ryker.) Ryker: I got to get out of here! (Ryker turns around and runs for his life, with Edith right behind him. However, with the added weight of the Grab Pack, his running speed is severely limited, giving Edith an advantage. Soon, more of the tiny Mikados appear.) Ryker: Oh, come on! I knew it was a good idea to not come here. (He shoots flares from his flare gun, scaring the Mikados away. He runs through several buildings until he finally finds an exit. Using his purple hand, he is able to jump over the crack and the door closed automatically. After that, he hears screaming.) Ryker: Oh my God. Edith is dead. (Despite of what just happened, he must press on.)
