But, after breaking the record, the engine 6220 'Coronation' and its rake of coaches was still doing 110 mph about a mile and a half before a sharp reverse curve at Crewe Station, it stayed on the rails but the near accident was a haunting reminder of the dangers that came with record breaking.
As a result, the various Railway Companies looked for a way to continue their efforts to push beyond 110 mph causing a split in the timeline. In our timeline, the companies had a truce of no further record breaking.....that held for about a year before the LNER broke the truce and the worldwide record with a 126 mph run. In this timeline however, someone came up with the brilliant idea of treating the locomotives like cars and making them compete in an oval like the Americans.
Now over 100 years later in 2037, this Motorsport, now known amongst the masses as Rail Wars is the only hope of a small school in Brighton to keep their doors open. Only question now is whether or not their new team which includes a disgraced former champion and former icon of the Early Rail Wars scene can stack up against the newer, bigger, stronger, and faster competition.
