On the Godson Railway, the life has began to settle down to a casual pace, without being such a hassle or so. Elena had enjoyed going down the Flockton branch-line every now and then, Keshaun had loved pulling the old coaches down the EC&K branch-line. Everything on the Godson Railway, but that all changed one day.

Strickland Junction is is a small town and station on Eric, Christian and Keshaun's branch-line with a population of 4,700. Strickland Junction serves a junction station between EC&K branch-line and The Main Line. The station has a large overhead footbridge, four platforms, with a canopy covering two, and five through tracks. The station has a small yard, which has an engine shed and a carriage shed.

Strickland Dairy is one of the industries alongside the EC&K branch-line. It is located in Strickland Junction. Milk is delivered there every morning from Aspington. The dairy not only makes milk, but cheese as well. 

On a calm day, at Strickland Junction station, Keshaun and Stephanie were waiting patiently for the workers there to finish loading their trucks and tankers at Strickland Dairy. A few minutes later, their trucks and tankers were loaded and filled, Keshaun puffed down the line with Stephanie on board.

As Keshaun went down the line, he then saw a red signal ahead of the line. He slowed down until he arrived at the signal, and stopped with a hiss of his brakes. He looked up at the signal in confusion.

"I don't understand. I thought I was the only one on the line." Keshaun thought to himself, until he and Stephanie heard a loud air horn echo out to the line on their left.

They looked over, they saw a red and black sleek high-speed train pulling up to a nearby signal-box. His face was strange, his mouth was at the bottom of his nose and his eyes were where the window was, but his eyes were covered by a black visor. He was also huge; he had six coaches and at the other end was another engine but it was faceless. 

Keshaun and Stephanie were confused by what kind of train this one was

Keshaun and Stephanie were confused by what kind of train this one was. They haven't seen anything like this before. However, they were taken aback by the locomotive, as it rolled by them, and blew a cloud of black smoke in their faces, making them cough out the nauseous fumes. Then, with another toot of its horn, the engine was gone in a flash.
