Jonathan and I were given the task of exploring the line a bit more. We then arrived a big quarry. As we looking around, a large female tank engine came out of nowhere.
Dusty: GET BACK!" A rock wall blew up, a sign of blasting for more rock.
Dusty: WHOO! I love this job. Howdy there! Dusty's m'name! Say, you two ain't from 'round here, are you?" Then, a shay named Clank pulled up.
Clank: Yeehee! We got guests! TROY! MILO! *same way Lexi said it in JBS* We have company!" Another large tank engine and a track cart pulled up.
Milo: Oi! Be careful when the miners are blastin! You could've been killed!"
Dusty: *romantically* Oh Milo, you're so caring."
Troy: Easy there Milo, they didn't know that we were blasting. Besides, I put myself in danger all the time! Going into mines, collecting valuable rocks like gems, while you shunt hopper wagons for Sylvia or Nate to collect." Milo noticed Dusty was staring at him.
Milo: (*in his head* What's she looking at? Do I have something on my face?) Anyways, I was notified about you two and had to give you tour of the Blue Ridge Mine." The three puffed off.
Jonathan: Ya' know, Milo, I think Dusty has a sweet spot for you."
Me: Oh shut it Jon. Must I remind you of this morning with a certain northern?"
Jonathan: I'll keep my mouth shut."
Milo: Are you sure? I mean, she is a nice engine, but she has no sense of safety at all! Makes sense since her main job is collecting dynamite for the mines, but she gives no warning of blasting, except for me." That night at the sheds...
Jonathan: 'Night Mike."
Me: 'Night Jon. (*in my head* I think I'll like this new railroad.)"
The End
