(intro)

Today, down at the Josephine Railway, Liliana was taking both her new coaches Susan and Maryellen with a school excursion group, Claire's class with them for today. Liliana was happy to help out the class, and she was excited to see Claire again.

For Gwen, Austin, Johnny, and Belle, they had a lot of work to do, especially with shunting heavy goods and shunting passenger carriages for the other engines to take on their way. They didn't mind the shunting, but were getting tired more often than normal. It was a lot of work for them all.

Madeline, Shadow, Braedey, and Anna were handling the express trains and fast goods trains, with many passengers and goods coming and going, heading back and forth, all of them smiling and whistling to one another, as they pass by one another. Charlotte also helped out with the passenger services.

Down at Marion Station, Braedey and Charlotte were both taking on water after their long run earlier today. Charlotte also needed her large drive wheels to cool them down after her long runs back and forth.

Just then, Mr. Franklin drove up in his car. He stepped out, and he made his way over to the two engines. "Charlotte. Braedey. I need you two to go and collect someone important down on the Fairy Tail Railway" He began to explain.

"Someone? Who?" Braedey asked in surprise.

"You two will have to wait and see." Mr. Franklin replied back. "I'll also be travelling with you." With that, he walked up and climbed into Braedey's cab.

The two engines looked to one another with curiosity, then with the two whistling in unison, and they headed out of the yards towards the Fairy Tail Railway. It was gonna be a bit of a long run, but for Charlotte, it wasn't too strenuous for her, and she was able to keep up with Braedey.

Down on the Fairy Tail Railway , Kieron sat alone in the workshop, feeling miserable and in pain from what occurred to him. First off, he had broken his safety valve, which had been fixed. Next, he had been talked down by Croghan. And now, his fire bars, steam pipes, and safety valve had burst, as well as his water pipes, and this happened after he pulled Adam down the line.

Kieron stared down at his buffers, still feeling in pain from what had happened. Unfortunately, due to the funds of the railway being utilised to repair the sheds, he wasn't being repaired for now. He did feel bad for what had happened to him.

"Kieron." The GWR 1400 Class 0-4-2T tank engine looked up from his buffers, and he saw lisanna walking up to him.

"Hey, Lisanna  ." Kieron muttered softly. He still wasn't feeling like himself.

"Kieron." Lisanna gently patted the tank engine's buffer-beam. "I know that you aren't feeling the best, but don't worry. Angelise will make sure you are back to steam in no time." She reassured you him. Kieron showed a tiny smile to his driver.

Just then, the sound of two unfamiliar whistles could be heard approaching the railway workshop. Kieron and Blake looked over to see two engines slowly approach the workshop, coming to a stop to reveal Braedey the red GWR 4900 locomotive, and an unfamiliar feminine LB&SCR B1 Class 0-4-2 red tender engine. The two engines smiled at Kieron and lisanna , as they pulled up next to them.

"Greetings." Braedey announced. "I am Braedey, and this is Charlotte. We are of the Josephine Railway."

"Hello, there." Charlotte greeted to them. "You look kinda down."
