So. There are plenty of steamers out there that are survivors of their railways. Like my best friend Jamie(Frisco 1522), and my rival Alvin(UP 844).

Tillie: Well Pere's also a movie star. By the way how's Alvin taking the news of the 4014 coming back to life?

Anyway, I still can't help but wonder why would a superstar would want to come meet a rather obscure steamer like me.

Yeah, but he starred in a legendary Christmas movie that pretty much immortalized him and changed the way people associate trains with Christmas. I never did any those things, instead I sat in an old, run-down shop building for over 20 years collecting dirt and cobwebs while Alvin was stealing my rightful place in the spotlight of Arkansas.

Well at least he didn't have to suffer at the hands of UP bureaucrats like I did.

OK. Oh and Tillie, before you go, I just wanna say sorry that I might have sounded like a stick-in-the-mud this whole time.
