SODOR VIRUS-217.

Beginning of the end. April 2, 1952

At the height of the battle, I leaped forward from the monster. It grabbed by my my leg! Snapping it like it was a piece of twig. I fell into the Blood soaked sand. Slowly losing consciousness. The Men fired at the abomination. It did nothing but to anger it. It grabbed a nearby Barged, Filled with scarp. It flailed it around before hurdling it to my direction. I screamed Then i-

Tape 281 "Beginning of the end."

The island of Sodor, A magical place. But not for us NWR No.5 'James' Was complaining dreadfully. NWR No.7 'Toby' Had gone missing. And James was assigned to Thomas's Branchline. James on this branch for it too hard a fast pace to get a break. Heh. I bet he wont be complaining about getting a branchline For Never. We Are currently pulling a Stone Load from Ffarquahar Quarry. Luckily we are nearing Dryaw. James is pretty thirsty. All the complaining must've helped. As we are making put way to Dryaw A large Tanker Lorry passed us. Painted onto its side said 'Water Mixture: Extremely Hazardous.' This worries Frank, (James's Firemen.)

It has been a little bit, But we have reached Dryaw  We eventually reached Dryaw Where we saw the Water Gower. Frank is in charge of his water for now. I have to get to the bathroom.

Now that I'm done, Im back in james. Unfortunately, We both failed to notice the 'Do Not Use: New And Infected Water' sign that was on the grass. Strangely enough, James's water gauge didn't go up. We went to check Manually. I volunteered. The water is full, And there is no blockage. So we reluctantly Go on. After a few minutes of Running, He is completely fine. Besides his groaning, Which sounded sickly
Now. Around 2KM Up the line James completely
stopped. And a slight hissing sound could be heard. Upon closer inspection it was in fact his safety valve. We decided to place him into a siding. When we saw his face is was a bright green. We decide to call a buss home. Screams could be heard now. We do not know why . We checked on james.. Only for his face a be.. Mutated? Mangled? Infected. As soon as we got out, He started moving Faster and faster! His boiler was cracked, Steam hissing like a cobra. He then started moving onto the mainline. We had to tell the fat director.  After a few minutes, CRD53 'Bertie' Arrived. We hopped on and told the driver we needed to get to Tidmouth urgently. After a few stops and mishaps.

We finally arrived at Tidmouth. Gordon was due to come soon. His express coaches in o
Place, Waiting like giant columns. But we haven't have time. So we rushed though the buzzing Crowds, And finally found his office. We were about to enter when James passed us, This time he looked worse, His face indescribable and leaking steam through every hole and crack. We then stormed into the controllers office. Bertram was annoyed. But we explained. Then we got escorted out.
