Railway Series 47:
DIESEL ENGINES

By Joseph.O.Smith

Dear Friends

It has been a very busy time here on the island. The Summer has passed us by quicker then we expected and we are now moving into Autumn. The engines have had an enjoyable rest and are looking forward to returning
to their work. However, during the Summer, an economical boom hit the Island, sending shares through the roof. The line has never been so busy. Ships bringing oil, steel, coal and other useful produce come and go every
second of the day, keeping our engines extremely busy.

But this doesn't mean they haven't had their share of adventures. I was approached by one of them earlier this week, a new fellow going by the name of Lucky. He told me all about his first few weeks on the island. I simply had to write them down and share them with you. I hope you enjoy this new
set of tales from the quarry, the branch line and the main line.
