After the incident with Mr. Capone White, the engines of the Josephine Railway began to relax and get back to work, all the trains running by clockwork and with no fuss or worry. With all the parts they used taken away and without the excess weight, the engines were able to get back in rhythm and they felt better than before.
After the incident, Mr. Capone White didn't come back to the railway, and Mr. Franklin made sure to block and cut off all phone connections with him, even putting up a restraint order with the police in case he came back.
One day, Diana was currently working on one of her excursion trains along the railway. She was sitting by one of the stations, collecting and dropping off some passengers for the journey ahead. She enjoyed these kinds of trips, for it allowed her to relax and calm down from any stress. Sure, she had gotten over her fears, but she still had some issues or so, especially from an event back in her youth... Diana shook those thoughts from her firebox as she now focused on her work and everything else. She then heard the guard's whistle, as he waved his green flag. Diana whistled, pulling out of the station with her coaches in tow, and headed off down the line.
Diana made her way along the line, travelling about at 40mph, a regulated speed she didn't mind, and one that doesn't wear down her parts or leave her tired and/or puffed out. She enjoyed the calm atmosphere that was around her, and it was calming and soothing to her instead of the full scenery of the cities.
Eventually, Diana arrived back at Marion station and the central shunting yards. Once she arrived there, the passengers disembarked the coaches, and Max rolled up to take the coaches away. Once done so, Diana now made her way over to the water tower and coal bunker, and she began to top up.
"Diana." Belle pulled up next to the Caledonian engine with a smile on her face. "I want to tell you something that Mr. Franklin wanted me to tell you." The former said to the latter.
"What's going on?" Diana asked.
"You and Charlotte are to double-head a train up the line in about an hour." Belle explained to Diana.
"Right. Thanks for telling me." Diana thanked to the LBSCR E1 locomotive as Belle steamed off to go get some trucks sorted for the others. Diana looked to her buffers, thought with a concerned expression. "I hope it goes alright..." She whispered to herself, thinking about something from her past.
Nearby, Mr. Franklin's wife Caitlyn was just leaving her husband's office after having a talk regarding what dinner to have tonight, when she noticed the blue Caledonian engine in the yards. Caitlyn smiled at the blue tender engine, but then noticed the crestfallen expression on Diana's face. She was about to wonder about what's wrong, but she remembered that she had to get back home and get dinner ready. She headed off for home, all the while with thinking about Diana.
About half-an-hour later, Belle had arranged the coaches needed for the double-head train of Charlotte and Diana's. She watched as the red LBSCR B1 Class locomotive pulled up to the coaches, now coupling up to them. Charlotte waited patiently, then she saw Diana pulling up alongside before switching to the track Charlotte was on.
Charlotte looked to the clock, taking note of the time. "Come on, Diana. We're gonna be late." She called to the blue engine, seeing the time ticking away.
Diana immediately backed up a little too quick, now bumping into Charlotte, much to the latter's surprise. The red locomotive was now coupled up to the Caledonian engine, and the two female engines were ready to go. The guard blew his whistle, waving his green flag. The two engines were soon on their way down the line, both of them chugging along down the tracks.
The journey went along uneventfully as they go down the line, the green scenery and blue sky rolling by, and the coaches clattering along behind Charlotte and Diana. The red LB tender engine was enjoying herself as she goes along, but she took note that Diana was being rather silent and not as talkative as normal. Charlotte wondered what could be going on in the Caledonian engine's firebox as they were only halfway down the line. But then, before anyone could even think about what was going on or about to happen next, Diana suddenly applied her brakes without a word, and the whole train came to a stop in the middle of the line, much to everyone's surprise and confusion.
"Diana?! What in the name of Brighton are you doing?" Charlotte demanded to the blue Caledonian. "We can't just stop in the middle of the line!"
"I..I-I'm sorry, C-C-Charlotte." Diana stuttered a little, sounding scared and worried. "I-I-I can't take the train any further."
Charlotte was taken aback. "What are you playing at, Diana?" She demanded. Diana didn't respond to Charlotte, and it got the latter locomotive annoyed by this.
The guard soon walked up to Diana's cab, looking to her crew. "What's going on, fellas?" He asked to the driver.
"Don't know. Diana just... stopped without warning." The driver replied back with uncertainty. He then had to try and open the brake lever, the lever releasing with a clank, nearly knocking him off the footplate. "Whoa!"
"But why did she stop?" The fireman asked to the driver. "She's never done this at all before."
"We'll go to the station up ahead, then we'll uncouple Diana from the train." The guard suggested to them.
The driver and fireman agreed to this, and once the guard got back onboard, Diana and Charlotte puffed away down the line, heading off to the next station just down the line. Once they arrived there, Diana was now uncoupled from Charlotte, and the blue engine pulled up into a siding nearby. Charlotte pulled away from the station, giving Diana a glare as she puffed off down the line.
'I am sorry.' Diana thought to herself sadly, looking down at her buffer beams.
A few minutes later, Diana travelled lightweight back to the main shunting yards and station. She pulled up to the platform of the station, and there on the platform was Mr. Franklin, waiting to see her. He had an expression on his face that a father would give to their children if they did something wrong, and Diana knew she was in trouble.
"Diana. I heard from Charlotte and her crew that you stopped the train halfway down the line." Mr. Franklin began, Diana flinching from his voice. "Can you care to explain why you did?" He asked to her.
"I... I'm really sorry, sir." Diana muttered softly. "I'll... I mean, I won't do it again. It was just- I might not be feeling too good." She stuttered.
"Alright, then." Mr. Franklin relaxed himself but still kept a somewhat stern expression. "I'll let you off with a warning. But I hope this doesn't happen again." He said to the Caledonian engine. "I'll let you take light trains and goods for a while. Is that alright?" He asked.
"Y-Yes, sir. Right away, sir." Diana replied quickly and timidly, and headed off back to the yards to get some trucks and coaches ready, Mr. Franklin raising an eyebrow at her actions and behaviour.
That evening down at the sheds, Charlotte was now arguing with the others about what had happened to her and Diana earlier in the day while they were out on the line pulling their train. She was frustrated with the incident.
Charlotte was still feeling annoyed about earlier. "...and on top of that, she was let off the hook my Mr. Franklin instead of being punished for what she did?! The nerve of- I did something like that back in the day, and I was shut up in the sheds by my old owner back in '37! How is that fair?" She asked in exasperation.
"For Brunel's sake..." Austin muttered, his hearing going numb from hearing Charlotte complaining.
"Oh, put a cork in it, Charlotte." Max sighed to himself, Charlotte taken aback by his words. "It's clearly obvious to me something might be wrong with Diana, but it is something beyond our control and it's none of our business." He said.
"But why would she stop in the middle of the line like that?" Belle wondered with curiosity.
"I have heard of engines stopping in the middle of the line due to either safety valve failures, derailments, broken brake pipes or something like that." Jane spoke up and gave her own opinion. "It might be something internal that was broken or something."
"But it might be something we shouldn't be involved with." Austin suggested to the others.
Braedey was silent as he now looked over to the berth that was Diana's, taking note that she wasn't there with the others. She must've been outside or at one of the other sheds for the evening. He wondered what might be going on in the Caledonian engine's smokebox...
Over the next few days, Diana had been taking some light goods trains and shunting work, but she kept silent and didn't respond to anyone's whistles or even made small talk with anyone. It was getting concerning for them, but they don't get the chance to talk to her.
Diana handled the goods trains without any issue, even being gentle with the trucks, which is rather unlike her, and she took them without fuss or worry. The trucks did not cause any mischief to her. As this happened, she also sorted out coaches for the other engines, and she handled everything without a fuss. But, she wasn't sure about taking the passengers or anything like so.
However, Diana was then assigned to take a passenger train, Mr. Franklin telling her. Diana saw Austin get six branchline coaches ready at the platform for her to go down the line.
Austin pulled up nearby the blue Caledonian. "Diana, your train is ready to go." He said to her, then headed off to go get some trucks ready for the coaling depot.
Diana sighed to herself. "Thank you." She muttered to nobody. She was feeling anxious and felt her anxiety rise, but her crew is unaware of how she's feeling.
Diana made her way to the coaches, now coupling up without any hesitation. She sat there for a few minutes as the passengers boarded. Soon, the guard blew his whistle, and Diana puffed away slowly down the line with the coaches behind her.
The journey going through the woodlands carried on uneventfully, Diana keeping to herself as she looked down at the rails and sleepers ahead. Her crew are unaware of her anxiety, but they could see a spike in her boiler temperature and pressure. They just assume it's nothing serious. Diana, however, was not feeling all too well, and it was really taking a toll on her. Her crew now took notice that Diana is slowing down, pressure in her boiler rising and falling a lot more than normally, and it was also slowing them down.
"This is definitely unlike Diana." The driver noted. "She's usually full of spunk."
"Best we stop at the next station to check on her." The fireman suggested.
The driver agreed with the fireman about this. Once they all arrived at the next station, Diana was stopped at the end of the platform. Her driver and fireman now began to check all around their blue engine, trying to see what could be wrong with her. They take a gamble that something might be blocking her cocks or pistons, so they began to release some built-up steam from her pistons. Diana just sat there for a moment, then they were soon underway again.
"I'm not sure what's up with her. She's been like this ever since that double-head train with Charlotte." The fireman commented to the driver.
"Maybe she's going through a phase or something." The driver took a guess with a shrug. "Everyone goes through a phase every now and then."
Diana was going along slowly at about 15mph and not at the pace of 25mph that her driver and fireman were hoping for her to go. So, the driver opens her regulator a little more to try and get them moving. Diana slowly responded to the increase of her regulator, but only got up to about 20mph. It was confusing to the driver and fireman as to why Diana wasn't going any faster.
"Come on, girl. You can go faster than this." The driver coached to Diana. "We need to keep to time and get to the next station."
But then, before anyone could even think about what next, Diana let off a cloud of steam from her pistons, a wall of steam erupting either side of the Caledonian engine. At once, the driver and fireman shut off steam and applied the brakes, the train now coming to a halt.
"Well, that's gone and done it." The fireman sighed reluctantly to the driver. "With little to no steam at all, we're not taking the passengers any further down."
"I'll phone ahead to see if there's an engine available to take us the rest of the way." The driver got out his phone and made a call, while the fireman tried to get more steam out of Diana.
A few minutes later, Jane arrived on the scene. She now coupled up to Diana, and they puffed off down the line back towards the station. The passengers didn't seem too annoyed or angry from what happened, as they disembarked the coaches and headed off on their way.
Mr. Franklin now walked up to Diana, a stern frown on his face. "Diana, this is definitely unlike you at all. You have not done this before." He said to her.
"I... I'm sorry, sir. I really am." Diana shuddered in fear. She looked down to her buffers. "I-I promise not to do it again."
"Diana. For now, I would like you to do some shunting around the yards, then go back into your shed." Mr. Franklin said calmly to Diana. "Is that understood?"
"Y-Yes, sir." Diana stuttered, and she now puffed slowly away, while Jane took the coaches off to the shunting yard.
As this was happening, Caitlyn had overheard and seen everything, taking note of the anxiety and uneasiness in Diana's eyes. She now decided there is only one thing to do in order to help the blue engine. All she had to do was make a phone call...
At the end of the day, everyone had returned back to the sheds after their day of work. Everyone right now was conversing with each other about the day events. Austin and Max were covered in coal dust, while Jane handled the shunting. Braedey and the others have also handled goods and passengers.
Diana, on the other hand, she was over in a shed not far from the engine sheds, and she was being told off by his own driver and fireman, the other engines listening in to what was going on outside of the sheds.
"You have been a rather insubordinate engine." The driver spoke out. "Not taking passengers and being slow with your duties..."
"I don't know what's wrong with you, girl." The fireman added in. "I just hope this won't happen again."
"If it does, I might as well leave and hire myself up to be another engine's driver soon." The driver scoffed, then he walked away with the fireman, leaving Diana hurt and sad from their words.
The other engines were taken aback by the words of Diana's driver. How dare he have any nerve to say such words! "That cad." Jane spluttered in fury.
"He has no right to say such words." Max grunted, his engine snarling. "Why I oughta-"
"Stand down, Max." Braedey spoke up, the others looking back to the crimson GWR 4900 locomotive. "I'm sure that someone is going to solve Diana's anxiety issues."
"How can you be so sure?" Belle asked to Braedey with a raised eyebrow. "Do you know something we don't?"
"Perhaps." Was all Braedey replied to them.
The other engines looked to him with curiosity and confusion as to what Braedey was referring to or what he knows. Diana, meanwhile, she sat alone and silently in the shed, unsure as to what will happen tomorrow.
The next morning, the engines were getting ready to go and get their trains ready. Diana, on the other hand, sat silently and quietly while the sun rose up on the horizon. However, her crew hasn't arrived to fire her up yet, so she guessed they made good on their word.
A few minutes go by, but for Diana, it felt like hours. Just then, she could hear the sound of an approaching car, now seeing a grey Range Rover driving up and stopping at the carpark. The Caledonian engine could see Caitlyn climbing out of the car alongside another woman, the two women walking up to Diana.
The second woman is an stunningly attractive lady with sexy hip-length black hair that has bangs hanging on the right side with two ahoges, green eyes, a mole under her left eye, red round glasses, one earring on her left ear and a curvy figure. Her outfit consists of a green knitted turtleneck, a tight black mini-skirt, along with cross garter motif stockings, and a white lab coat.
"Diana, I'd like you to meet Miss Sunohara." Caitlyn introduced Diana to the raven-hair woman. "I asked her to come over to see if she can help. I'll leave you two to get acquainted." With that, Caitlyn walked off to the office.
"Diana, I have heard from Mr. Franklin and Caitlyn that you have been having some issues with passenger trains as of recently." Miss Sunohara began to say to Diana, now pulling up a chair. "I'd like to hear what is wrong."
"I... I-I don't know i-i-if I can." Diana stuttered in worry about this. "I'm just..."
Miss Sunohara gently placed a hand on Diana's buffer beam. "It's okay, Diana. I'm here to console you." She said in a gentle tone of voice. She adjusted her glasses and looked to Diana. "Can you tell me when you have been having these feelings of anxiety and such?" She asked, now pulling out a pen and paper to write down.
"Well..." Diana slowly began. "I've been... feeling like this for about... maybe a week or two?" She huffed a little. "I was just... just thinking about my past and all the good times working on the Caledonian Railway during the 1920's and 30's."
"I see." Miss Sunohara wrote this down on her paper. "Please continue."
"Then... I was thinking about when I was sent off to work in London back in '32 to assist the LNER and LMS." Diana continued to explain. "I was intimidated by the sheer size of the engines and the stations, but I wanted to do a good job. But, I felt small compared to many engines there, and I didn't feel that confident about myself. During my time in London, I had been harassed by the bigger engines, some of them saying I'm weak and inferior compared to them, and they'd ridicule me, even if I made a mistake like bumping the passenger coaches a little too roughly or bumped the trucks and spilt some coal or other material. It was humiliating for me."
"That must've been terrible." Miss Sunohara nodded, writing this down. "Go on, then."
Diana shuddered as she thought back. "Well, I was set to do light passenger work and goods around the area, although I was hesitant to do so, especially with other engines watching me. They'd ridicule me, even when I tried to do good. Some of my trains were either a few minutes slow and such, mainly because of my anxiety and concern. It got the best of me sometimes. A few engines did their best to try and comfort me, but their words didn't help. It fell amongst the words of mockery. Some of the passengers didn't take too kindly of being late, and they would give me a severe tongue-lashing because of that. Even my old crew would tell me off for that, and it was disheartening my own crew would ridicule me instead of standing by my side. But one day... it all came to an end." She muttered the last sentence sadly.
Miss Sunohara looked over at Diana with curiosity and concern. "What happened to you?" She asked to the engine.
Diana wasn't sure about telling this woman, but since she had asked, she decided to ask. "Well... it began one fine morning on an Autumn day in 1935. I was told to go and take a passenger train from King's Cross to Peterborough. But... I'll never get there. You see, I've been struggling to go faster with passenger trains due to my anxiety and everything else, and my driver and fireman were struggling to get me going. I was looking at the rails, trying to drown out the berating noise of my crew. But, as I was approaching Hornsey, I saw my track had a yellow signal, meaning danger and I had to stop or slow down. However, my crew didn't see it, and I was too scared to even call out. I was suddenly switched onto the wrong line, going through the station without slowing down or stopping, then I saw a junction set against me just outside the station. Before anyone could do anything... it was too late. I jumped off the tracks and derailed, and a few seconds went by, then another train going in the opposite direction struck me and my train."
Miss Sunohara was shocked and surprised by what she heard from the Caledonian locomotive. She gently patted Diana's buffer beam in sympathy and allowed her to continue on.
"After the crash, I was taken to a workshop where the railway manager who had me on loan was waiting, and I was being inspected for any damage." Diana now told Miss Sunohara. "But, about 36 people on my train were injured in the accident, and that made me lose courage to go out on the line. Once I was given clearance to leave the workshop, I worked in the shunting yards just sorting out the trucks and coaches. But as time goes on, I ended up going slower and slower, so trains were delayed. The others began to blame me, but I didn't care. I was too shaken from the accident and such to even notice. Soon, I didn't even come out of the shed to do my work. I was too scared to leave. By about June of 1935, the manager said I was being sent back to the Caledonian Railway because of my actions and not tending to my work. I didn't care if I was being sent back, I wasn't confident enough in taking trains at the time."
"And what happened then?" Miss Sunohara asked.
"When I got back to the Caledonian Railway, my owner was angry at me and told me I made a mockery of the C.R for my actions. He was livid, and sanctioned me to work in the shunting yards, never to run on the mainline at all." Diana explained next. "I was slow to work on shunting other's trains, and everyone blamed me and my crew. My crew didn't care for they said it was my fault. Eventually, I didn't leave my shed and didn't stare at all, my driver and fireman resigning. They didn't want to work with a stubborn engine that won't do their job. The manager severely punished me and he kept me locked up in the shed, leaving me cold, alone, and sad. I couldn't help feeling scared and hurt about what happened. But nobody seemed to care about me. But eventually, by the 12th of August in 1968, the last day of steam-powered service in the U.K, the line I worked on was closed, the other engines being sold off to collectors and other railways, leaving me behind and locked away in the old shed. I sat there for the next 27 years silent and alone, waiting for something... anything..."
Diana couldn't go on anymore, now breaking down into tears as she looked down at her buffers sadly. Miss Sunohara saw this and stood up, walking over to the blue engine, sitting up on her buffer beam and patting her cheek. Diana looked to Miss Sunohara, and she showed a tiny smile back, although her tears still fell down her cheeks.
"It's okay to release some emotions every now and then, Diana." Miss Sunohara said softly to her. "I now understand why you would shy away from taking any passengers. But, you'll never know how a journey will unfold unless you do so. It's something we must do, and we cannot hide from our fears forever. At some point in time, we have to face them, as you should. I'm sure you can face your fears, Diana." She reassured to her.
"I... I'm not sure, Ma'am." Diana stuttered. "I mean-"
"Like I said, we have to face our fears eventually." Miss Sunohara reminded gently. She hopped down from Diana's buffer-beam, and turned to the Caledonian engine. "Do you think can do it? For me?"
Diana considered this woman's words, and he took a moment to think she might be right. She looked to her buffers, then back at Miss Sunohara. "I'll... I'll try." She replied softly.
Miss Sunohara nodded with a smile. "Great. I'll have Mr. Franklin arrange you to take one of the morning services. I'll also ride with you in your cab." She told her.
"But what about my crew?" Diana asked. "They have not turned up-" She was cut off when she saw Jane pulling up nearby. "Jane?"
"Diana, I couldn't help but overhear, and my crew decided to help you out." Jane spoke up, her crew now getting the blue Caledonian locomotive fired up. "It won't be a problem, since I won't be needed for today."
Diana was most surprised by this. "I... thank you, Jane." She said softly, just as she got a good fire going in her firebox. "Thank you very much."
"Hey, we female steam engines got to stick together." Jane smirked, as Diana pulled out of the sheds.
A few minutes later, Diana began to back down onto two coaches that have been set up by Austin earlier. She slowly backed down to the coaches, coupling up to them. Diana could feel her anxiety starting to rise inside her, but began to remember Miss Sunohara's words from before. She took a deep breath and relaxed to herself.
Miss Sunohara now climbed into Diana's cab, gently patting the side of the engine. "You can do this, Diana." She said reassuringly to her.
Diana smiled a little at the woman's words. Soon, all the passengers were onboard. The guard blew his whistle and waved his green flag. Diana whistled back in response, and she slowly and gently pulls out of the station.
For the next few minutes of the journey, Diana kept a steady pace at about 25mph, and didn't put a wheel wrong. She was still feeling a little anxious, but when she would feel Miss Sunohara give her a gentle pat on the side of her cab, and the former would feel better from this. Eventually, they stopped at the first station down the line they're on, and Diana comes to a gentle stop at the station. Once she stopped, Miss Sunohara stepped out of her cab and walked over to the engine, as she was uncoupled to roll forward and get some more coal for the rest of the journey.
Miss Sunohara patted Diana's buffer beam. "So far, so good." She complimented Diana. "You're going well." Diana smiled gently at this, as Miss Sunohara climbed back into the cab. "We've still got a way to go." She added, gently patting the side of Diana's cab.
Diana reversed back up to the coaches, coupling up to them. Once done that, she blew her whistle, and pulls out of the station with coaches in tow. Diana kept to a good pace and she felt better as she goes along down the line. She even passed some of her friends like Liliana, Max, Braedey, and Belle, all of them whistling and cheering her on as they go by. That made Diana smile, and she powered on ahead.
Throughout the rest of the day, Diana has kept herself to time, and she has kept a positive attitude. Whenever she feels unsure, she remembered Miss Sunohara's words and kept on going. She got good comments from the coaches and the passengers, and she smiled happily at this. She even ended up five minutes early on one train, beating Braedey's personal time set. As this was happening, Miss Sunohara couldn't help but smile happily at the Caledonian engine's new resolve.
After about an hour of travelling down the line, Diana had finally returned back to the main station of Marion. As she pulled into the platform, Diana smiled to herself and blew her whistle in triumph. She had done it. She smiled over to Miss Sunohara as the latter walked up to the Caledonian engine.
"You have done it, Diana." Miss Sunohara said happily to Diana, gently patting her side. "I'm proud of you."
Just then, Mr. Franklin and his wife Caitlyn walked out of the former's office to see what was going on. They smiled at the Caledonian engine.
"Well, Diana, it seems you've become the Josephine Railway's favourite engine this week." Mr. Franklin began to say to Diana. "I've been heard nothing but praise and good words from the passengers who have travelled with you today."
Diana blushed a little from the praise. "Thank you, sir. But I have to thank Miss Sunohara for helping me overcome my anxiety and fear." She thanked to the raven-hair woman.
"I know she would. She's a food therapist, after all." Caitlyn smiled.
"Oh, stop it." Miss Sunohara shrugged innocently.
Diana was surprised. "A therapist?" She asked.
"Of course." Miss Sunohara stepped up in front of Diana. "I happen to be a qualified therapist. I had completed my training in Manchester about a month ago. I'm really good at helping out people, but this has to be the first time I've ever worked with a steam engine." She giggled.
Diana smiled gently. "I couldn't have done it without you, Miss Sunohara." She said. "If it's alright with you, and this is an ask from me... could you please stay and be my new driver?" She asked.
Mr. Franklin, Caitlyn, and even Miss Sunohara were all rather surprised by the Caledonian engine's request. The former two looked to Sunohara to see what she might say. Miss Sunohara looked to the blue engine's eyes, and she showed a gentle smile.
"Well, if I can use my therapy practices anywhere, I think it be where my best patient is." Miss Sunohara nodded to Diana. "Of course."
"Very well." Mr. Franklin nodded in acknowledgement. "I'll make the necessary arrangements and papers for you, and you'll be inducted into the railway."
"Thank you, sir." Miss Sunohara nodded back in agreement.
Liliana soon pulled up on the other platform with her train. "Hey, Diana. You are looking much better than before." She commented.
"That, I am." Diana smiled, and she blew her whistle happily. "And I'm proud of it."
"And I'm proud of you overcoming your anxiety and fears, Diana." Mr. Franklin said to Diana with a smile on his face. "You have truly gone above and beyond."
"Thank you, sir." Diana smiled, just as Miss Sunohara climbed into her cab. "Let's go." With that, Diana puffed out of the station with a smile on her face.
After a few days of therapy thanks to Miss Sunohara, Diana had regained her courage and has gotten over her anxiety, and she has performed better than before. She has handled coaches and trucks better than she ever did before, and she completed her work faster than any other engine on the Josephine Railway.
It was definitely a improvement to her attitude before, much to everyone smiling and agreeing to this. Charlotte soon apologised to Diana for her attitude, and the latter forgave her. The other engines were very impressed, and everyone was happy to her resolve.
In addition, Miss Sunohara has been inducted and has been made as member of the Josephine Railway staff. She was assigned as Diana's driver and therapist of the railway, whether humans or non-faceless vehicles.
Diana couldn't be happier to have a better driver.
