Description here's a nice AU I came up with for Bash, Dash, and Ferdinand.

credit goes to Swiftwin4ds  and  wyattloughrie

Bash, Dash, and Ferdinand are locomotives that are located in a remote logging location in Washington state.

both Bash and Dash were once owned by the Bear Harbor Lumber Company and numbered 2 and 3. they were built with their driving hears at the rear because complaints from multiple engineers had mentioned that it was harder to get to the smokebox of loco No. 1 since the gear was placed in front.

at some point during the 1930s, Bash and Dash were sold to the Jobi Logging company located on a island near Birch Bay and Point Roberts in the state of Washington.

Ferdinand was once also owned by the Climax Manufacturing company, he is one of a kind since most of his siblings run on 3 foot gauge, while Ferdinand was an attempt to sell his class to other major railway companies by converting his gauge to fit standard gauge.

Ferdinand was later sold to the Jobi Logging company around the same time Bash and Dash were acquired.

all three locomotives had kindled a friendship over time and still work with each other to this very day.

the Jobi logging company eventually went bankrupt in 1943, leaving the locomotives and workers without a job for a long time.

during that time, they continued to work as if nothing had happened. 

eye witnesses during the years reported seeing logs being thrown into the sky and landing into the waters surrounding the island. other witnesses claim to hear the ghost like whistles coming from the island.

an infamous event still reported on to this day, in May 8th of 1953, the bridge that connected the island to the coast line had eventually collapsed, the weather was intense that day, the waters were rough, and after the repeated cashes with the waves, the bridge had eventually buckled and collapsed into the waters below.

this would further isolate the island until 1988 when construction work was started at the scene of the collapse.

one a new secure bridge was constructed, people now had access to the island, after a few explorations, all of the locomotives were found, shut out from the world in a shed. their drivers nowhere to be seen.

they were later recovered and now owned by the Mt. Rainier Railroad and Logging Museum and serve as not only museum pieces, but actively work as shunters and tour trains.
